Insider’s Look: Lincoln, NH

By RE/MAX of New England - Last updated: Monday, November 21, 2011

This month’s “Our Town” takes a look at Lincoln, NH.

Lincoln is the second largest town by area in New Hampshire, yet most of it is comprised of national and state forests. Established in 1764, Lincoln was not immediately a desirable place for settlers to reside in until the town’s abundant timber and waterpower abilities from the Pemigewasset River were recognized. Today, the town is a popular tourism destination in the state. Nearby Loon Mountain Ski Resort draws winter sport enthusiasts all season long.

Although the main focus of this month’s Our Town is on Lincoln, many reasons that make this town a destination location is because of neighboring town Woodstock. The Lincoln Chamber of Commerce often refers to the counterparts as “Two Towns, One Big Adventure.” Both Lincoln and Woodstock provide ample opportunities to enjoy every New England season at its finest.

For this issue of “Our Town,” we spoke with Kevin McNamara of RE/MAX in the Mountains.

1. What is the median price of a Single Family home?

The median price for a single-family home with two-bedrooms is $174,000. However, there are a wide variety of housing options for everyone to choose from in both the Lincoln and Woodstock areas. Whether you’re looking for a studio apartment along the East Branch of the Pemigewasset River to a luxury home next to the slopes of South Peak at Loon Mountain, there are properties to fit everyone’s budget.

2. What is the public transportation system like?

Lincoln has no public transportation. The town is located near a major highway, but most residents travel by car.

3. What is access to major highways?

Lincoln is conveniently located just minutes from Interstate 93. This Interstate easily connects you to superhighways, such as Interstate 95, in New York, New Jersey, Connecticut, and Rhode Island. Being so close to the highway is especially nice in the winter months when snowplows and sanders can easily plow the roads.

4. How are the school systems in the area?

Lincoln and Woodstock share a small, unique school district. Both the elementary school and junior high/high school are located on the same campus. The two close-knit towns capitalize on its low student to teacher ratio to provide an individualized and personalized education to its students. Lin-Wood Public High School recently received a distinguished Great Schools Rating of 10 out of 10. This recognition is given to few public high schools in the state.

Who is attracted to this area?

Winter sport enthusiasts, nature lovers, and vacationers are typically attracted to this area. The town’s scenic beauty draws people of all ages and demographics. Lincoln is primarily known as a vacation destination, but many people fall in love with the area and often purchase a second home that they can come and escape to.

6. Total population?

Lincoln has just over 1,600 full-time residents, as well as hundreds of vacation homeowners and renters. In the winter, the population can easily double with the addition of seasonal visitors. 

7. Average age of population?       

The average age of a resident in Lincoln is 42-years-old. In Woodstock, the average age of a resident is 37-years-old.

Kevin’s Five Faves in Lincoln: 

1. Best Restaurant: The Common Restaurant is a favorite amongst locals and tourists. They have received numerous state and national awards for their service and cuisine. Make yourself at home by the fieldstone fireplace and enjoy dinner in the bar or dining room

2. Best Ski Mountain: If you’re in Lincoln, you have to visit Loon Mountain. From skiing and snowboarding in the winter to hiking and bike riding in the summer, the mountain offers endless amounts of activities for all visitors.

3. Best Ski Trail: Located on the North Peak of Loon Mountain, the Walking Boss ski trail is famously known for its breathtaking scenery. Take in the views and enjoy the ride.

4. Best Pizza Shop: GH Pizza will hit the spot after a long day of skiing or hiking. Known for their pizza and grinders, the food is fast and filling and a local staple.

5. Best Hiking Trail: Nestled in the White Mountains, Bondcliff Trail is a scenic wilderness trail. The hike is moderate and there can be some rugged sections. It’s the ideal place to escape for the day.
