Upscale living along the river
Along the Detroit River lies the Joseph Berry Subdivision, an upscale Detroit neighborhood that appeals to those who love the river and appreciate the area’s historic legacy. “People move here to be by the water,” says Candace Crawford, Detroit native and Administrative Assistant at River House Co-Op in Joseph Berry Subdivision. “Plus, the area’s diverse community really comes together and gets along.” This neighborhood is made up of homes, docks and East Jefferson Avenue, a main road that leads to downtown. Designated as a historic district in 1978, this neighborhood also includes the Manoogian Mansion, the mayor of Detroit’s private residence. Across the Detroit River, residents look toward Belle Isle, and beyond that, the Canadian border.
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.
The Joesph Berry Subdivision provides easy access to the the iconic Detroit River.
