Buyers
A buyer's agent who knows the neighborhoods you're eyeing, spots overpriced listings and fights for you in multiple-offer situations.
Find my agent →Jefferson-Chalmers sits on Detroit's far east side where the Detroit River meets Lake St. Clair, next to Grosse Pointe Park at Alter Road. Canals such as Fox Creek wind between the streets, so some homes have water out back and room for a boat, and East Jefferson has a historic business district. A partner agent who knows the neighborhood can help you understand flood insurance and seawall condition before you buy.
Pick one to get started. It only takes a minute.
Local know-how
Much of Jefferson-Chalmers is in a FEMA 100-year floodplain, and lenders generally require flood insurance on federally backed mortgages there. Get a quote and check the flood zone for the exact address before you commit.
For canal-front homes, the seawall is part of the house. Have it evaluated, and ask the seller about past high-water events and any repairs.
Some streets here sit below the level of the river. Ask about basement water history, sump pumps and backflow protection, and look for signs of past flooding.
