On the banks of the Ecorse River
Michigan’s suburban city of Lincoln Park earned its name in 1906, incorporated as a village in 1921 and officially became a city in 1925, testifying to the area's robust growth in the early 20th century. Roughly 11 miles southwest of downtown Detroit and 8 miles east of the Detroit Metropolitan Wayne County Airport, the city sits between two branches of the Ecorse River. Home to nearly 40,000 people, Lincoln Park is known for its scenic parks, its cluster of Hispanic businesses and major employers like Walmart, Starbucks and the US Postal Service. Residents also enjoy convenient access to highways and a lower cost of living compared to other nearby cities and villages. “The taxes are a little lower than some of the other downriver cities,” says Dean Agius, real estate broker with Re/Max Innovation. “And it’s also close to the highways.”
The heart of Lincoln Park can be found at the intersection of Fort St. and Southfield Rd.
