Characteristics

Transportation

This borough is an extremely good part of the Pittsburgh metropolitan area for moving around by car. Finding a parking spot is generally easy, and most of the street infrastructure is built for driving. Getting around as a pedestrian is not very practical for house buyers in Lincoln because very few daily needs can be carried out without a car. Despite the fact that some pleasant areas for cycling exist, the bicycle is a rather limited means of transportation in Lincoln as the cycling infrastructure is not very extensive, and traveling by bike is made arduous by the often steep terrain.

Services

There are only a very small number of high schools and primary schools in Lincoln and consequently they can be a very long pedestrian trip away. Locals benefit from public and private secondary schools. With respect to food, getting to the closest grocery store without the need for a car is feasible for some, but not all, property owners in Lincoln. Residents of Lincoln can enjoy around 40 restaurants as well.

Character

Lincoln offers a slower-paced environment. Most areas in Lincoln are very quiet, as noise from streets and other parts of the city is rarely an issue.
