Jefferson's Corridor







Jefferson's Corridor is a District in the South-Eastern City of Detroit, following East Jefferson Avenue and the Detroit River.

The demographic make-up of the district is fairly mixed ethnically with a slight majority of African-Americans. Upper-class families are common to Indian Village, while hipster singles or couples are drawn to The Gold Coast.

The Gold Coast
Located south of East Jefferson's Avenue, the Gold Coast is made up of several medium/upper-class shoreline highrise apartment-buildings. Properties along the main avenue is dotted with posh restaurants and hip stores. This subdistrict was build around the turn of the millenia by investors attracted to its cheap beachfront-properties, who gentrified the area into medium/upper-class residencial homes and gated-communities. The Chakra - Conference and Wellness Centre, a yoga and spa centre - and the Club Gold Coast , a gay strip-club - is located here.

Indian Village
Following due north of East Jefferson's Avenue, Indian Village is an upper-class suburban neighbourhood. Originally a city-close retreat for the wealthy dotted with riverside cottages, the neighbourhood was modernized and densified at the start of the 20th century with upper-class colonial-style homes build by renowned architects. Reportedly, the name Indian Village was chosen for sales appeal and not because there was evidence that Native Americans had once lived on the site.
