Change is starting in this Detroit neighborhood near the city center
Jamison has a similar story to other Detroit neighborhoods: a community that once faced a population loss, decreasing owner-occupancy and abandoned homes is today a community on the rise. Located 6 miles north of the city center, this neighborhood feels close to the downtown energy with less traffic and noise. Early 20th-century homes, dense tree canopies and proximity to the historic Boston-Edison neighborhood, just east, signal this neighborhood's century of history in the area. It's sandwiched between two major highways and close to Henry Ford Hospital, a major employer. Boarded-up homes with overgrown front yards show the work that still needs to be done here. Yet a convenient location and opportunity are helping this neighborhood to grow. “The development of Detroit has always been slow, but I see an influx now," says Russell Wilcox, a Realtor with Century 21 Curran & Oberski, who works in the area. "You’re close to downtown and close to freeways. I see a lot of change within the next five years.”

Early 1920s homes still need some work
Tudor, American Foursquare and Colonial Revival homes date back to the early 1920s. Renovations are beginning to reshape the neighborhood. "There are a lot of properties that need rehab, and a lot of people are doing it, and the return is huge," says Nancy Robinson, Realtor with Century 21 Curran & Oberski. Renovations may be as light as refinishing the floors and adding new windows and as extensive as adding new roofs, kitchens and bathrooms. Prices also vary along with the condition. Fixer-uppers can range from $30,000 to $70,000, while renovated homes can range from $130,000 to $265,000. Through the city of Detroit, qualifying homebuyers can receive $25,000 toward a down payment. Jamison homes, averaging over 2,000 square feet, come at a larger size for their price. They also provide outdoor space with large front porches. Overgrown front yards may adjoin mowed yards with flower boxes.
Older four-square style homes are popular in Jamison.

Updated outdoor amenities at Yates Playground
Family-friendly pocket parks are found in the surrounding neighborhoods. Yates Playground is within walking distance just east. It got a makeover as part of Detroit's 2017 Parks and Recreation Improvement Plan, geared towards the city's smaller parks that hadn’t seen improvements in years or decades. Yates spans over 2 acres and features two basketball hoops, a playground and an open, grassy space. Three blocks west, McShane Park is another neighborhood green space with a playground, two swing sets and a covered pavilion. Three blocks southeast, LaSalle Park is situated at the center of the LaSalle Gardens neighborhood and surrounded by stately, early 1900s homes. This manicured park has paved walking paths crisscrossing through a landscape of mature trees. Several benches are scattered throughout the park, dedicated to the memory of Reverend C.L. Franklin, father of Aretha Franklin.
