Jefferson Chalmers on the rise
Jefferson Chalmers is characterized by its waterfront homes, parks and the historic Jefferson-Chalmers Business District. Match Realty agent Katie Wheeler says the community has remained somewhat antiquated for a long time and is gradually becoming modernized. A realtor with 7 years of experience, Wheeler can speak to the neighborhood's character and growth, being a resident herself. “Jefferson Chalmers is a community of boaters and is all about the canal life. We need more commerce, though. A few years back, we got a coffee shop and recently, we just got our first grocery store. That actually used to be a liquor store. We need more people to come and open their businesses, but it’s all happening and growing. We are a sought-after Detroit community that is slowly coming back."
Down by the Detroit River
Alfred Brush Ford Park features a renovated community center that hosts many activities for residents, including dance classes, karaoke and arts-and-crafts. Mariner Park offers front-row seat viewing of the Detroit River. At Maheras-Gentry Park, visitors can fish or go hiking and explore its 52 acres.

Proud homeowners on Harbor Island Street
The neighborhood features many Craftsman Bungalows, colonials, ranch-styles, and Cape Cod style homes. On Harbor Island Street, river-fronted homes with boat parking make a trip on the Detroit waterways a breeze. "It has an eclectic feel and there's a lot of old history that people have worked really hard to hold onto. It’s a neighborhood where the residents take a lot of pride in where they live. These people have worked really hard to renovate and maintain their properties. There's a lot of historic brick colonials, and they're all just beautiful homes," Wheeler says. Home prices in this area tend to range from $75,000 for a single-family unit up to $750,000 for a larger home on the waterfront.
The Jefferson Chalmers community is nestled along the local canals.

As a current resident of the city of Detroit, I am exposed to the flaws and triumphs of the city. As a community that is on the rise, gentrification directly affects minority residents by increasing feelings of exclusion and neglect.
