A vivid expression of community
In Lincoln Park, street corners are being reimagined with vibrant art depicting civil rights icons and the phrase “Let’s Live, Let’s Love” on metal and concrete fixtures. Although much of Lincoln Park is comprised of modest homes, Market Creek Plaza commercial hub is busy with passing foot traffic. According to Carolina Juarez, local resident and Realtor with Keller Williams Realty, “Lincoln Park has a friendly vibe even though a lot of the homes are quite old and need a lot of updating. But that’s a great opportunity for new buyers or anyone who’s interested in improving the zone.”
A mix of homes from the 20th century
Most residents rent their homes in Lincoln Park, and the neighborhood has a number of apartment complexes. Other options range from small, manufactured homes for under $300,000 inside El Rey Trailer Plaza, to three-bedroom midcentury houses listing between $500,000 to 750,000. “Lincoln Park residences are smaller than historic homes in other neighborhoods, but their stucco finishes and cozy front porches still have a lot of character. And overall, it’s just less expensive to buy in Lincoln Park than near the ocean,” Juarez says. Some of the oldest homes are south of Imperial and north of Oceanview Boulevard, where many streets lack sidewalks. Well-maintained ranch-style and new traditional homes cost upwards of $850,000, but buyers can also score condominiums for $400,000 to $450,000.
Traveling by trolley or bus
Among the upsides to this somewhat fixer-upper community are easy access to major roadways and public transportation. “You’re so close to everything. You can take the 805 north to 94 west and be downtown in minutes,” Juarez says. San Diego Trolley line runs along the borders of Lincoln Park, and several MTS bus stops dot along Logan, Euclid and Imperial Avenues.
Students attend neighborhood schools
Students can walk to Porter Elementary or Knox Middle, which has a C-plus and a C grade, respectively, from Niche. Lincoln High, a neighborhood focal point, receives a B-minus from Niche. Its original buildings served middle school students in the 1950s before being rebuilt between 2003 and 2007. The updated campus, designed by Lincoln alum Joseph Martinez, includes a nearly 800-seat performing arts center and a 3,700-seat football and track stadium.
Shopping at Market Creek Plaza
One of the gems within Lincoln Park is the thriving Market Creek Plaza, formerly the site of an abandoned factory. Painted in a palette of primary hues, this vibrant shopping center offers eateries and services from Starbucks to Wells Fargo to the Food4Less grocery store anchor. Prior to Food4Less joining the Lincoln Park neighborhood, residents had to drive up to five miles outside the neighborhood to grocery shop at larger chains. Home essentials can be found at the Family Dollar on Logan Avenue, and for those who seek vintage or budget finds, there’s the low-key Deeply Rooted Healing Center Thrift and Gift store.
A longstanding community space
At the center of the community, many picnic and play in the wide green recreational space at John F. Kennedy Neighborhood Park. Locals anticipate the first major upgrades to the park since its opening in 1971. Upcoming improvements include a new playground, fitness area and picnic shelter. Jackie Robinson Family YMCA sits right outside Lincoln Park, offering a fitness center and pool for members.
Events at Market Creek Plaza amphitheater
Significant to the Market Street Plaza’s character is also its outdoor amphitheater, where locals relax on the cool grassy tops of terraced concrete steps to enjoy events like Jazz at the Creek, an annual weekend of live music performances.
Pops of color in Lincoln Park
Thanks to the efforts of The Urban Collaborative Project nonprofit organization, Lincoln Park is home to The Community Gathering Place. This small, colorful space on 50th Street was established in 2017 and features a community garden adjacent to a mural of a city skyline and saxophonist splashed across the neighboring Car Care Center. The grounds showcase the remarkable “Mine’s Eye” kaleidoscope sculpture made of used bike parts. Projects like The Mile of Art murals, centered at 50th Street and Imperial Avenue, are the vision of local community leaders and artists who continue its growth as a way of celebrating diverse forms of expression.
