Lincoln

Over 35–40% of Lincoln is protected conservation land, offering nearly 70–80 miles of trails for walking, hiking, cross-country skiing, and nature exploration. The town is home to places like Farrar Pond, Mount Misery, and Walden Pond—perfect for anyone who loves being outdoors. Families will appreciate the excellent education system. Lincoln School (K–8) is highly rated, and Lincoln–Sudbury Regional High School has top-tier academic performance, with graduation rates near 99%. Lincoln is also home to a highly educated population—many scientists, artists, and telecommuters live here—and incomes are well above average. Homes are pricey, and inventory is low. Properties often sell quickly, sometimes in as few as 13–16 days on the market.
