1920s homes on the Historic Register
Most properties in Lincoln Terrace were built in the 1920s, with styles including Tudors, American Foursquare and Colonial-revival estates. Each home has unique details like arched windows and doorways, pitched roofs and covered porches or porticos. Sizes range from 1,500 to over 5,000 square feet with three or more bedrooms, and prices usually range from $250,000 to $600,000. Higher prices indicate larger houses with more modern updates, and fixer-uppers sit at the lower end of the price range. It's important to know that Lincoln Terrace is on the registry of historic places, so rules limit renovations and new construction.Glimpses of Oklahoma history
Lincoln Terrace sits around William Freemont Harn Park, which has a playground for kids. Right next door, the Harn Homestead is a historical site with original structures from the early 1900s, a common destination for school field trips. Although the Homestead does occasionally open to the surrounding public, notably for its popular “Haunt the Harn” Halloween celebration, it is usually closed for private events. For more local history, the Oklahoma History Center sits less than a mile north. The Smithsonian-affiliated museum offers outdoor walking trails and a collection of exhibits that delve into the state’s past. Some of the most popular times to visit are during the food-filled Farm-to-Table Festival in the spring and the diverse Folklife Festival in the fall. “The festivals draw people from all over the city, but we get lots of locals walking over Lincoln Terrace since they are so close by,” says Sarah Dumas, the museum’s deputy director.Arts integration at Wilson Elementary
The youngest Lincoln Terrace residents attend the sought-after Wilson Elementary School for pre-kindergarten through fourth grade. The school's integrated arts program offers all sorts of creative classes and encourages dynamic, hands-on learning in all subjects. "People move to this neighborhood for Wilson Elementary, especially for their art curriculum," Woolbright mentions. The school gets a B rating from Niche. Students are then zoned for F.D. Moon Middle School, rated C, and Frederick Douglass High School, rated C-minus. Douglass High is known for its athletics, with a men's basketball team that won the Class 4A state championship in 2023.Shop and dine across the Interstate
Lincoln Terrace is just across the Interstate from OKC's liveliest restaurant, shopping and entertainment districts, including Automobile Alley and Midtown. In fact, some homeowners are only a 20-minute walk away, following the sidewalks that line NE 13th Street. And less than a mile in the other direction, George's Happy Hog Bar-B-Cue has some of the best barbecue in the city — but get there early because they usually have a line out the door. There isn't much within walking distance of Lincoln Terrace for groceries, which is pretty typical for OKC. Homeland sits a few miles north, and Walmart is a few miles west, but residents are looking at a longer drive if they want a wider variety.Memorial views during the OKC Marathon
Every year, the part of Lincoln Boulevard that runs through Lincoln Terrace gets sectioned off for the OKC Memorial Marathon, which goes right by the Capitol Building. Residents head out with cowbells to cheer on the runners or decide to participate themselves. And all the events downtown OKC offers are just 2 miles away.Bus lines connect to downtown OKC
A bus line runs along Lincoln Boulevard, connecting the OU Medical Center and downtown OKC. Commuters can catch the bus for a 15-minute commute to work or hop in the car for a two-mile drive. For longer trips, the Will Rogers World Airport is on the other side of the city, 13 miles away.Nearby OU Medical Center and city noise
It's not uncommon to see scrubs-clad workers biking over to the OU Medical Center, and residents are never far from medical services when needed. However, the center brings some ambulance noise to the neighborhood, and the nearby Interstate 235 also contributes some road noise. But it's a city, so prospective homebuyers would be hard-pressed to find a spot this close to downtown without a bit of noise.

GreatSchools:
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.
