Lincoln Park Ranked 5th Best Place to Live in New Jersey in New Jersey Monthly Magazine!
Lincoln Park is moving up! In New Jersey Monthly Magazine's Best Places to Live in New Jersey, Lincoln Park was named the 5th best town to live in New Jersey. The magazine's rankings are based on numerous criteria, including home values, school ratings, population growth, land development, employment, crime rate, and proximity to certain services, like hospitals and movie theatres.
I've been a resident of Lincoln Park for over ten years, and I agree..it is a great place to live! It has the charm of a small town, with easy access to several hospitals, mass transportation, shopping malls, and four major highways. Along with local restaurants and shops, Lincoln Park boasts a McDonald's, Subway, CVS, Rite-Aid, Cost Cutters, and of course, the very popular Shop-Rite. Most neighborhoods in town are within a 5 to 7 minute drive of Routes 23, 46, 80, and 287, and many are within walking distance to the Lincoln Park, Towaco, or Mountain View train stations. Lincoln Park is also minutes away by car from Chilton Memorial Hospital and the Willowbrook Mall.
As a professional real estate agent at Century 21 Crest Real Estate in Pompton Plains, I have noticed that many people from other areas think that Lincoln Park is one big flood zone. This is not true! There are many neighborhoods in town that do not have any problem with flooding. A few areas, primarily along the river, get flooded often, which grabs all the headlines. So, atleast until the Spring rains, Lincoln Park will have a positive headline....right at the top of this page.
