The Jefferson / Chalmers Citizen District Council (JCCDC) and the Southeast Waterfront Coalition (SEWC) are two of the homeowner and business association groups that work with the Jefferson East Business Alliance to grow and develop what is known as the "Lower Eastside". Detroit famed "canal homes" are located within the Jefferson East Area.
Jefferson East offers Detroiters a combination of a growing commercial district, million-dollar riverfront homes, new townhouses, stable and close-knit neighborhoods, strong community associations, a yacht club and three marinas, parks, schools, churches, and community centers and and 2-day music festival: "Jazzin' on Jefferson in June".
