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

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.

In my particular apartment complex there is a fitness room but it is rarely used. But things such as the pool and side paths to run on are beginning to be used more often. There doesn't seem to be hospital facilities nearby which is inconvenient since there are many elders.

In my neighborhood the grass is as high as your ears. The streets are filled with paper and everything else. The environment is horrible. Wild animals are loose running around every where. I am scared to walk the streets of my neighborhood. I wish that the environment was better and token care of. Compared to any where else in the world I would say that the neighborhood I stay in is at the bottom.
