Dogs and skateboarders have their own parks just south of Lincoln Mill
Beirne Avenue Park is a small neighborhood park with a playground and a field ready-made for impromptu ball games. Just south, the paved Gateway Greenway rolls through downtown for just under a mile. From the greenway it's a short walk to one of the city’s Dogspots, which are large off-leash dog parks with separate spaces for large and small dogs. Banks, stairs and quarter-pipes are a few of the features at the adjacent Lydia Gold Skatepark. Though not a park, one neighborhood landmark is the Historic Lowry House. Dating to 1832, it’s one of the only homes in the South within the Italianate-Federal style of architecture. Owned by an abolitionist, it was a stop on the Underground Railroad. The house is now on the National Register of Historic Places and open for tours and weddings.Meridian Street has fresh patries and bread
Meridian Street is a busy commercial corridor and within walking distance of the Lincoln Mill campus. It is home to popular L’Etoile Patisserie, a family-owned business known for its excellent pastries and bread. Indoor and outdoor seating is available at the nearby Dallas Mill Deli, which serves classic sandwiches, burgers, hotdogs and soups. Shopping, dining and fitness are the focus inside the Dye Building on the Lincoln Mill campus, which has a coffee shop, barbecue restaurant and climbing gym. Options for groceries are limited in the Lincoln Mill District, but it’s less than a 10-minute drive to the Kroger on Oakwood Avenue.

Neighborhood bungalows once housed mill workers
While Lincoln Mill is mostly a commercial district, there are numerous homes in the area, most originally constructed for mill workers. In recent years many have been significantly upgraded and put on the rental market thanks to the concerted outreach of Lincoln Village Ministry, which has spearheaded neighborhood revitalization efforts since 2012. Today the greater Lincoln Mill area is experiencing a new wave of investors and homebuyers. Most houses are bungalows from the 1920s and 30s, with some ranch-style homes with clapboard siding. More and more new builds are becoming available too, however. A bungalow built in 1950 will sell for around $165,000, but prices can climb to $450,000 depending on size, location and renovations. A four-bedroom home with Craftsman features built in 2023 recently sold for $750,000. Prices for condos and townhomes range from $295,000 for a two-bedroom townhome to $405,000 for a three-bedroom townhome. Minimal Traditional and National-style homes are also scattered across the neighborhood.
