Historic homes along Detroit River
Architecture aficionados may enjoy walking throughout the neighborhood to see the variety of home styles, such as Tudor Revivals, Queen Annes and Colonial Revivals. The shady sidewalks make for a pleasant walk or bike ride through the neighborhood streets, especially down by the canals and docks. There may not be a lot of movement on the market in this historic district, but some residential lots are available at $249,000. One lot along the main thoroughfare of East Jefferson Avenue is available at $575,000. As for the homes themselves, a renovated three-bed/five-bath brick cottage built in 1910 right on the canal costs $750,000.

Boat over to Belle Isle & beyond
Stockton Park faces the Detroit River and Belle Isle. It includes a playground that overlooks the water. Erma Henderson Park, named after Detroit’s first Black City Councilwoman, includes a basketball court and a marina. While the marina is not currently in use, there is an operational small dock in the neighborhood parallel to Motor Boat Lane. Those who have watercraft can cross the Detroit River to Belle Isle Beach, a popular spot for kayakers, paddleboarders and members of the Detroit Yacht Club. Locals can also get to Belle Isle on foot, on a bike or by car: it’s right across the MacArthur Bridge– locally known as Belle Isle Bridge—less than 4 miles away. Joseph Berry Subdivision residents “bike and walk to Belle Isle together for some exercise. But this is Motor City, so we love to drive, too,” says Crawford. There is plenty to do on Belle Isle to escape the city life of Detroit, from photographing nature at the Belle Isle Nature Center to walking along Blue Heron Lagoon Trail to taking in a bit of local maritime history at Dossin Great Lakes Museum. And when getting out of town doesn’t suffice, Joseph Berry Subdivision is less than 5 miles from Canada: vehicles simply cross the Detroit Windsor Tunnel.

Cass Technical High School earns a B-plus from Niche. With over 2,400 students, it is the largest school in the Detroit Public School Community District. Examinations are required for entry into this college prep public magnet school.
