Homes minutes away from a hub of shops and restaurants

Branching westward off of Ulster Avenue, Lincoln Park is a multifaceted neighborhood in southeastern New York. The residential streets on its east side are complemented by farmland and a golf course on its western side, and Ulster Avenue itself provides a convenient assortment of shops and outlets. Grocery stores, hardware stops and local restaurants are all along the road less than four miles, or about 10 minutes, from the southwesternmost home in the neighborhood. “The value of that area is you’re just off the main drag,” says Alex Stier, a NYS licensed associate broker with Keller Williams Realty Hudson Valley North, who adds that traffic isn’t a concern despite the proximity. “You’re one block away from the main shopping area for the whole Ulster County area, and yet you can be out walking your dog in the street. That’s the real benefit of Lincoln Park. It’s a little old-fashioned in the way it looks, yet close to everything.”

Locally-owned restaurants and nearby shopping centers

Kings Valley Diner is open until at least midnight every day and its menu ranges from breakfast to cocktails, with many other classic diner options in between. Patrons of Christina’s Restaurant enjoy Italian dishes indoors or on its covered patio, and the restaurant has served the area for more than 30 years. Other establishments include SushiMakio and the Home Plate Deli. “For 25 years, it was my business of having the hometown deli,” Stier says of the restaurant. “We had breakfast every morning for the highway department guys and fire department guys. Then, we did catering, everything from a wedding at the firehouse to monthly mixers to feeding 300 people.” Target and Walmart are among the stores up Route 9W, providing outlets for general shopping, while Barnes & Noble and Dick’s Sporting Goods provide more specialized options to book hounds and aspiring athletes. Hannaford and Aldi stock groceries along the thoroughfare, as well. “It used to be called the ‘Million-Dollar Mile,’” Stier says.

Homes side-by-side on residential streets

Many home prices in Lincoln Park fall between $200,000 and $400,000, and designs are typically small ranch-style homes or Cape Cods, along with some split-levels. Many were built around or before the mid-20th century, and some homes might even have a saltbox-style flair with angled roofs. “It’s very close to shopping and the commercial area, so you have the best of both worlds in a sense, where you have community and you also have commercial,” Stier says. “It’s an old-fashioned, 1950s neighborhood of when everybody came back from World War II.” Many of the streets in the southern portion of Lincoln Park radiate westward off Route 9W, while some of the northern streets are off of Van Keuren Highway. Properties are close together, and though there aren’t any sidewalks, the roads are wide enough for jogs or walking dogs. “It’s the feel of an old neighborhood,” Stier says. “You do get to know your neighbor.”

Community events bring residents together

The closeness of the homes means its residents have more than enough chances to commiserate and take part in gatherings. “It’s a close-knit community,” Stier says. “It’s where neighbors watch out for neighbors, just the old-fashioned type of neighborhood you’d picture in an old film made in the 1950s.” One recent event was an area block party held in September 2023, which featured live music, games, food and more. “They closed off one of the streets,” Stier says. “They’ll bring out their grills, and everybody grilled burgers, hot dogs and different types of barbecue. Everybody gets together once a year and gets to meet everybody.” On the west side of the neighborhood, Seed Song Farm & Center is the site of annual summer camps, festivals and more.
