"Cars, Farms, and Trash"

All kidding aside there are some pretty cool houses on this road. And you're only about 5-7 minutes from the local shopping centers and downtown Lincolnton. The only problem is the city dump is located on this road. And so for a half a mile or so you can smell the stench. Not the greatest thing to smell every morning when you get out of bed or have friends over. There is some traffic because the dump is right there but despite all the traffic it's a pretty quiet road.

"Sounds pretty glitzy..."

but it's not. Lake Street used to be somewhat of a nice street. But lately it has become more run down and more populated. Besides not being close to any store or gas stations I just find it to be a boring street. Quiet is good but it's just a little too quiet. Maybe good for elderly people if they would clean up the area a little bit. If you're thinking about moving here think twice. Especially if you have kids. There's just nothing going on and if this was the only street that you came too if you came to Lincolnton it just wouldn't represent our city well.

"A Family Oriented Street"

Otis Dellinger is a tiny street with just a few houses. People are always out washing their cars or planting flowers and they are super friendly, always waving hello as you drive by. Kind of sounds too good to be true. The houses are anything extravagant but they are pretty nice.Although there aren't any shopping centers nearby there is a gas station and a school right down the street. There isn't a lot of traffic on the street and the area is very safe.

"Ready for a Road Trip"

Ivey Church Road is a long and winding country road with exquisite older houses and beautiful scenery. If you're looking to get away for a little bit this place can take you there. The speed limit is fairly low so just driving through always makes me feel calm and at ease. Or gather up your spouse and kids and plan a small little road trip down memory lane. The scenery is absolutely stunning in the spring/summertime.

"Gorgeous Houses Line This Street"

Beautiful large homes line this street. Mostly older homes, but beautiful nonetheless. Overall its a really safe street and would be great for people with children. Generally quiet although there is some traffic around rush hour. The downside is that there aren't many gas stations or stores around but there are a few churches.

"Pretty Cute Neighborhood"

Buffalo Shoals in a nice quiet Southern neighborhood in Lincolnton. There are a lot of really nice people living here, most of them have been here for quite a while. They are always really neighborly and would go out of their way to help people. There are some really nice houses along this street and a lot of new stuff is being built. It is a really well kept place to live.

"Raunchy Run Down"

This neighborhood isn't the greatest especially if you're planning on purchasing a house here. I guess its not the worst street I've been on..but definitely not the greatest. There aren't many things to do around here and from what I've heard a lot of parties tend to happen on this street. I guess for younger people it wouldn't be so bad. It used to be somewhat of a nice area but lately it's turned into party central. I wouldn't feel safe living here. For a small street there is a lot of traffic.

"Main Street Mayhem"

Lincolnton is a small historic town in North Carolina and Main Street showcases all of our diversity. There are small shops to visit, a cultural center with lots of artwork, and even a few corner bistros where you can try out some comforting Southern food. Which is delicious if I might add. There isn't a lot of traffic coming through but you can always see quite a few people walking on the sidewalk. This small town will put you right at ease. Strangers feel like family here and Main Street is a great place to meet people, grab a bite to eat, or just take some time for yourself. It's a diverse street and a diverse community.

"Seedy Little Street"

This isn't the worst street in Lincolnton by far but it is a street I would stay away from. It's loud and a little chaotic at times. There is also usually a cop riding around the street. There is a church on Hilltop and a convienence store. Some of the residents are elderly people but mostly its young people who populate the area. I don't think it's a safe street and if you do have to travel on it I would make sure to keep my car doors locked. Just a heads up.

"A Vacation Right At Home"

Out of every street I've ever lived on this has to be my absolute favorite. This street has no houses, but has the BEST apartments in my town. They are a little on the expensive side for my area but it is well worth it. There are so many different types of people living here and so much to do. The apartment manager organizes activities monthly for the neighbors to get together and all-in-all the staff is super nice. They do a wonderful job of taking care of the grounds and making sure everything in your apartment is working correctly. The view from every apartment is just breathtakingly beautiful. There are beautiful flowers everywhere, benches for you to sit on, and a nice walking trail. It is super quiet outside most of the time and its just so relaxing. When my friends come over they all say they feel like they are on vacation. You'll have a hard time finding another street like this one.

"Home Sweet Home"

Park Circle is a quiet country street with lots of trees and beautiful scenery. It is located directly across from a newly built middle school so the traffic in the area is picking up quite a bit. The neighbors are pretty friendly but don't go out of their way to talk to you. Everybody pretty much minds their own business. There are a lot of older folks living on the streets and they have been there for quite some time so it is a pretty safe neighborhood. If exercising outdoors is your thing Park Circle is the place to live. This long street that winds around will give you a great workout and there are always plenty of people walking their dogs or playing with their kids outdoors. The houses aren't grandeur by any means but they are beautiful none the less.
