Welcome to Lincoln
Lincoln has grown from a quiet ranch town into one of the region’s most dynamic real estate markets, anchored by Del Webb’s Sun City Lincoln Hills and a steady pipeline of new-home communities priced below neighboring Roseville and Rocklin.
History
How Lincoln got here
Originally a stop on the California Central Railroad in 1859, Lincoln was known for its brickworks and cement production. The 1999 launch of Sun City Lincoln Hills transformed it into a national destination for active-adult living.
Lifestyle
Living in Lincoln
Two distinct lifestyles in one city — active-adult resort living inside Sun City, and young-family suburban living in Twelve Bridges, Verdera, and the newer Independence builds. Golf, pickleball, hiking, and a charming historic downtown anchor it all.
