Welcome to Lincoln Real Estate: A City That's Growing for All the Right Reasons
Lincoln's Story Is One of the Best in California Real Estate
Lincoln is a city I genuinely love to talk about, because its story is remarkable. Located 10 miles north of Roseville in Placer County, Lincoln grew by 282% between 2000 and 2010 — making it the fastest-growing city over 10,000 people in the entire United States during that decade. That kind of growth doesn't happen by accident. It happens when a community gets the fundamentals right: quality housing, good schools, strategic location, and something that draws people in and makes them want to stay.
Lincoln was named an All-America City by the National Civic League in 2006 — the only California city to receive that distinction that year. It's a designation that recognizes civic engagement, community pride, and the quality of life that residents build together. That spirit is alive and well in Lincoln today.
Sun City Lincoln Hills: Active Adult Living at Its Finest
If you're in or approaching retirement, let me tell you something I tell a lot of my clients: Sun City Lincoln Hills is one of the finest 55+ active adult communities in all of Northern California — and possibly in the country. Developed by Del Webb, this master-planned community within Lincoln is essentially a city unto itself, with world-class amenities that include two championship golf courses, multiple recreation centers, indoor and outdoor pools, tennis courts, pickleball, fitness facilities, hundreds of clubs and activities, and a social calendar that puts most urban neighborhoods to shame.
The homes in Sun City Lincoln Hills range from low-maintenance villas to spacious single-story estates, and the community's beauty — with its manicured grounds, open space, and foothill backdrop — is genuinely stunning. For buyers looking for an exceptional retirement lifestyle without leaving Northern California, this is the conversation to have.
Lincoln's Family Neighborhoods: A Great Place to Raise Kids
Beyond Sun City, Lincoln has developed into a wonderful community for families as well. Newer master-planned neighborhoods throughout the city offer beautiful homes at price points that are often more accessible than neighboring Roseville or Rocklin, making Lincoln one of the best value propositions in Placer County. The Western Placer Unified School District serves Lincoln's families, and the district has strong reviews from parents throughout the community.
Thunder Valley Casino Resort, on the unincorporated outskirts of Lincoln, provides entertainment and employment for the broader area, and Highway 65 provides convenient access to Roseville, Sacramento, and Interstate 80.
Why Lincoln Is a Smart Buy Right Now
Lincoln's continued growth, expanding retail and dining options, and proximity to the broader Placer County employment base make it an excellent real estate investment. Homeownership here runs at over 81% of occupied units — a remarkable figure that speaks to the pride of ownership and long-term commitment of Lincoln's residents. With a median household income around $108,000 and strong appreciation trends, Lincoln rewards buyers who get in early.
