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.” 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. The neighborhood features many Craftsman Bungalows, colonials, ranch-styles, and Cape Cod style homes. On
