Pros and cons of Lincoln Park after 11 years
Hey everyone, Military spouse here. Median household income is $81,337, which feels pretty solid for the area. With a population of 2,406, Lincoln Park is a small town. Rent is about $1,261/month for a decent place. The median home value here is around $254,300, which seems about average. There's a real sense of community in certain neighborhoods. The school system varies a lot by neighborhood. It's a very car-dependent city, for better or worse.
Pros:
- Affordable cost of living
- Growing food scene
- Plenty of shopping options
- Good airport connections
Cons:
- Hot summers
- High property taxes
- Boring for young people
- Poor road conditions
- Limited cultural events
