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.

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.
