Southeast Greensboro community home to longtime residents
A couple of miles southeast of Downtown Greensboro, Lincoln Heights is an established community in a convenient spot with schools and a big city park, all within walking distance. “There’s a shopping center right down the road and access to a bus line,” adds Christie Harrison, a real estate agent with Realty One Group Results Greensboro. The neighborhood is hugged by major highways, but living here comes with more than convenience. Harrison says it’s a community where people choose to stay, “especially if they came from the neighborhood." She adds, "There’s the nostalgia of being there, knowing the neighbors, and being able to look out for them,” explains Harrison, who’s lived in Greensboro for 20 years.
Lincoln Heights is a quiet suburban town only minutes from downtown Greensboro.

Single-story and split-level living
Single-family homes here are from the late 1940s through the 1960s, and typically have two or three bedrooms and sit on grassy quarter-acre lots with varying levels of landscaping. Mature trees dot front yards, while thicker swaths of trees provide shade and privacy in backyards. Buyers have a catalog of housing styles to choose from. Red-brick ranch-style homes are most common and can come fashioned with carports or small porches. Cozy cottages and split-level homes feature colonial- and Craftsman-inspired details like stone siding, louver shutters and two-car garages. Home prices range from $100,000 to $250,000, with the average sale price up 9% in 2024 compared to 2023.

Barber Park, a YMCA and Gateway Gardens
A small neighborhood park, a large city park, a new YMCA and an expansive garden are all less than a mile away. The quiet Bluford Park is tucked along the neighborhood’s southern border. Families can take the kids to the playground or find shade under a tree for a picnic. The park’s paved walking paths connect to the sprawling Barber Park, a popular place in the summer for its expansive playground and sprayground surrounded by picnic shelters. With a baseball stadium, event center, amphitheater and indoor sports pavilion, it’s become a thriving community center point. The park is also home to Bikewalla, a community bike shop that teaches bike repair skills and has a “bike library” where people can rent a bike during their park visit for free. The new Hayes-Taylor Memorial YMCA is next door, offering group fitness classes, summer camps and teen mentoring programs. Just beyond that is Gateway Gardens, 11 acres of picturesque horticulture. “It’s beautiful. People love to take pictures, walk around, relax and enjoy the scenery,” Harrison says.

Crime
While having a CAP Index crime score of 5 out of 10, compared to the national average of 4 out of 10, Lincoln Heights has an above-average risk for violent crime. After a spike in homicides citywide, the Greensboro Police Department launched a violent crime reduction team in March of 2023.

The GreatSchools Rating helps parents compare schools within a state based on a variety of school quality indicators and provides a helpful picture of how effectively each school serves all of its students. Ratings are on a scale of 1 (below average) to 10 (above average) and can include test scores, college readiness, academic progress, advanced courses, equity, discipline and attendance data. We also advise parents to visit schools, consider other information on school performance and programs, and consider family needs as part of the school selection process.
