Lincoln Neighborhood of Vancouver, Washington

A place of homes, schools, churches, and some businesses. Lincoln is a neighborhood of people which are long-time residents and new comers; apartment dwellers and home owners; singles, young families and homes with teen-agers, empty nesters, and senior citizens; and we are all individuals, entitled to our own aims, ways, peace, and safety. The neighborhood is primarily single family in nature and

represents a mature urban neighborhood with tree lined streets although some multifamily apartments reside in the neighborhood as well. The portion of the neighborhood next to the railroad tracks supports light and medium industrial uses. The neighborhood supports a variety of housing styles and ages from new sub-divisions such as Columbia Crest to homes built in the 1930’s. There are commercial interests in the neighborhood such as two small markets, various office buildings including Washington State Department of Transportation, and medical and dental offices. Discovery Middle School and Lincoln Elementary are situated within the neighborhood. Lincoln Elementary has many recreational amenities such as tennis courts, soccer fields and a playground. There are two additional open spaces; a small neighborhood park called Hidden Park and another small area located to the east of Washington Street yet undeveloped.
