History thrives in Lincoln’s rolling green fields

Wide open stretches of lush land, historical locations, hiking trails and museums fill the Lincoln neighborhood. Homes rest on large lots in between active farmland, all south of the Hanscom Air Force Base. “We joke that it’s a town for people for whom less is more,” says Terry Perlmutter, a Realtor with Barrett Sotheby’s International Realty who has over 26 years of experience. When residents want to see a piece of history, they might visit the Minute Man National Historic Park or the Codman Estate. Children attend highly rated schools and make memories with their families at the Lincoln Public Library. Residents might drive 25 miles east to spend the day in Boston or 5 miles west to shop around in Concord. No matter where residents go for fun, their spacious homes in quiet Lincoln will be waiting.

Roomy Colonial Revival homes from the 18th century to today

Because the neighborhood features wide open spaces, homeowners enjoy large lots and plenty of breathing room from their neighbors. Future residents can find farmhouses, mid-century contemporary homes and Colonial Revivals priced at $1 million to $3 million. Those just starting out on their homeownership journeys can find townhouses and condos closer to the Air Force base for around $500,000. Homeowners might end up hidden away from the rest of the world with the thick trees surrounding most properties, but some want that seclusion to feel relaxed after a day of working in busy Boston. “We do have historic homes built in the 18th and 19th centuries here, too,” says Perlmutter. “After all, this is where Paul Revere was captured by the British.”

Exploring nature at Browning Fields and Pigeon Hill

Residents have access to multiple hiking trails and conservation areas around Lincoln, including the nearby Silver Hill Bog trails. Kids have four different playground sets available to use at the Lincoln Playgrounds. Locals who want to get their steps in and see pieces of history from the Revolutionary War head to Minute Man National Historical Park. The park features a plaque where Paul Revere, the famous revolutionary hero, was arrested by the British. For indoor fun, anyone can visit the Lincoln Public Library to see the original stained glass windows and the twisted tree out front that catches visitors’ attention. The beloved landmark was planted in the 1900s and naturally formed its unusual, twisted appearance.

American dining with local roots

Despite the expansive layout of Lincoln, Donelan's Supermarket sits 4 miles from Downtown Lincon, making it convenient to buy groceries. The Tack Room on Lincoln Road serves hungry residents and tourists a menu bursting with American dishes and specialty cocktails. Just down the road, The Twisted Tree Café offers breakfast and lunch in an inviting atmosphere and purchases ingredients from local farms. “There’s a story here,” Perlmutter says. “The café is named after the twisted tree in front of the town library.”

Discovering the beauty of nature at local farms

Mass Audubon's Drumlin Farm welcomes visitors of all ages to experience life on a working farm. This wildlife sanctuary has animals ready to be pet, walking trails to explore the wetlands and gardening classes for amateur gardeners. The Codman Estate welcomes visitors to see how the Codman family lived for five generations in the Georgian home. Every September, local artisans and craft enthusiasts visit the grounds for the annual Codman Estate Fine Arts and Crafts Festival.

Champions play at Lincoln-Sudbury Regional High School

Lincoln School gets an A from Niche and serves kindergarten- through eighth-grade students. The small school features recent renovations and a nine-to-one student-teacher ratio. “It’s a beautiful school for these students,” Perlmutter says. “And once they finish there, students head to Lincoln-Sudbury Regional High School.” Lincoln-Sudbury Regional High School gets an A-plus. The school sports a championship-winning men’s ice hockey team and girl's swimming team.

Skipping traffic at the Lincoln train station

Because master-planned communities don’t exist in Lincoln, the streets are sidewalk-free. Residents drive to the grocery store, restaurants and nearby museums. Those who want to save a little gas and skip morning traffic drive to Lincoln Station to catch the commuter rail to Boston. The Concord Turnpike also guides Lincoln drivers to Downtown Boston, 25 miles away.
