Lincoln Park: Historic, diverse and down-to-earth

Variety. If there is one thing the Rockville neighborhood of Lincoln Park has, it’s variety. Architectural styles, landscaping methods, and income levels range across the board, but neighborhood pride brings residents together. Each lawn shows signs of love and care while remaining unique to the home dweller’s personality. A tropical jungle grows next door to a statue-adorned rock garden. Newer homes have crisp green rectangles.

“I think it’s a nice neighborhood,” local historian Sharyn Duffin said. “Reasonably quiet. It’s certainly diverse.” Duffin has lived in Lincoln Park her entire life, though she declined to give an exact number of years. “I’ve been here a long time.”
