Lincoln Estates Homes for Sale

Lincoln Estates is a couple of miles from downtown Gainesville, and this established neighborhood offers budget-friendly midcentury homes. The community’s development predates the city’s boom in the 21st century, so there’s a bit of separation from the hustle and bustle. Ranch-style homes line the neighborhood’s shaded streets, and many have unique characteristics like colorful shutters and front porch decorations. Home prices can range from $150,000 to $250,000, which is about $100,000 lower than Gainesville’s average selling price. A 2-mile drive leads to Gainesville’s Main Street and University Boulevard, where there are local restaurants, boutiques and entertainment options. Butler Plaza, one of Florida’s largest shopping areas, is about 7 miles from Lincoln Estates. Students can attend highly rated schools within the Alachua County Public Schools district, including Joseph Williams Elementary School, Abraham Lincoln Middle School and Eastside High School. The 35-acre Lincoln Park is just outside of the neighborhood and features a playground, picnic areas and sports facilities. About a mile south, TB McPherson Recreation Complex adds tennis courts, a walking trail and outdoor fitness equipment to the area’s recreation options. 15th Street borders the neighborhood and can lead toward major city thoroughfares. Buses also run along this road. Gainesville Regional Airport is about 5 miles away, and Shands Hospital is about 4 miles away.
