YOU'LL ENJOY LIVING ON DOWNTOWN DETROIT'S EAST RIVERFRONT.

Shoreline East is one of a number of riverfront residential buildings located on Jefferson Avenue just east of the Belle Isle Bridge.  The area has come to be known as Detroit’s Gold Coast. 

The hi-rise condominium is within easy walking distance of Belle Isle Park, the all new Gabriel Richard Park and historic Indian Village.  Shoreline is only 3 miles from downtown Detroit and 3 miles from the Grosse Pointes.

 

Belle Isle Park

This 2.5-mile long, 985-acre island in the Detroit River is home to the Dossin Great Lakes Museum and the Detroit Yacht Club. Designed in the 1880s by Frederick L. Olmsted, the island includes a conservatory, a swimming beach, a golf course and driving range, a nature center, athletic fields and four fishing piers.

   

Gabriel Richard Park

Gabriel Richard Park is located just east of the Belle Isle Bridge and directly across the Detroit River from Belle Isle.  The Detroit RiverFront Conservancy has enhanced the park with a new riverfront plaza and pavilion which includes fountains, fishing outlooks, a butterfly garden and a labyrinth.  This park also serves as the most eastern point of the Detroit RiverWalk.

  Detroit RiverWalk

The new 3.5 mile riverfront walkway extends from Joe Louis Arena to just past the Belle Isle Bridge (with a few sections still in the planning stages).  It features major plazas and pavilions, fountains, a carousel, bike rentals and tours and riverboat tours.

   

Detroit Yacht Club

The historic Detroit Yacht Club, founded in 1868, is one of the oldest and most prestigious private Clubs in North America. The DYC clubhouse is located on a private island along the banks of Belle Isle Park in Detroit.  DYC members and their guests enjoy dining facilities, social events, recreational, athletic, health and fitness services and outstanding boat harbor facilities and services.

   

Historic Indian Village

Located on Burns, Iroquois and Seminole Streets between Jefferson and Mack Avenues, Indian Village is over 100 years old and includes over 350 homes.  The Historic Indian Village Home and Garden Tour, hosted each June, is the second oldest tour of its kind in Michigan, preceded only by the Marshall Michigan Historic Home Tour.

   

Pewabic Pottery

Founded in 1903 during the Arts & Crafts Movement, Pewabic Pottery is nationally renowned for its tile and pottery in unique glazes. Today it is a nonprofit ceramic art education center which welcomes 70,000 visitors annually.  The Pottery fabricates heirloom quality architectural tiles for public and private installations, gift and commemorative tiles, vessels, gardenware and ornaments.  It also offers classes, workshops, lectures, internships and residency programs for studio potters and other artists.
