Lincoln, AL 47 Apartments for Rent

Lincoln is the ideal place for car fans to live: it's home to a Honda Manufacturing of Alabama plant, the Talladega Superspeedway, and the International Motorsports Hall of Fame.

Lincoln is a fairly small town in terms of population: at the 2010 census, the population was 6,266. That said, it covers a decent chunk of ground, with an area of roughly 24 square miles, and offers a lot more than space and car fandom culture to its residents.

Moving to Lincoln

If you manage to quickly find an apartment or house in Lincoln, count yourself lucky. The percentage of renter-occupied homes is well below the national average, meaning that there are less rental homes to go around. As such, you should allow yourself at least eight weeks to find the rental home of your dreams in this area -- or perhaps longer if you have specific desires, which you aren't willing to compromise on. While you can find apartments in Lincoln, it's worth noting that you're more likely to see houses for rent. You can speed things up by having the right documents and information ready for when you do find the perfect property. Most landlords will want to see your rental history and references, proof of income, your credit history, and ID. If you don't have all these things, well, you might be able to find an attractive stable or place for a tent somewhere.

Neighborhoods in Lincoln

As a well-established town, you'll find a fair amount of differences between the neighborhoods in Lincoln. Some are older, and even historic, whereas other are more recently built. The neighborhood you choose will probably depend on your individual requirements and your personal preference, so scout them all out and see what you like!

Lincoln Harbor: This neighborhood was recently built, with all properties constructed after the year 2000. It contains a mixture of condos and townhouses, so it might be a good place to look for a duplex for rent.

City Center: If you want to be close to the main shops and restaurants, look for a property in the city center. Most properties here are houses, so you'd be more likely to find a townhouse than a studio apartment for rent.

Stemley: This area generally contains houses which are on the larger side. However, what you gain in size, you lose in convenience, as the neighborhood is quite far out from the center of town.

Living in Lincoln

Lincoln is a great town for enjoying the great outdoors. It has a number of city parks for residents to enjoy, some with some amazing recreational facilities. Lincoln Park is perhaps the most notable of them all, containing amenities such as a nine-hole birdieball golf course, an archery area, baseball fields, and more. During the summer months, outdoor concerts and movie nights are organized on weekends in some of these parks, which make for enjoyable community events. If you like to dine out and about, you'll find some great restaurants in the area, including Rana's Mexican Restaurant and the Montana Saloon and Grill. It must be said that there's not a great deal to do in Lincoln, but if you were looking for bright lights and cultural pursuits, you probably won't be moving here. If you crave some big-city excitement now and again, you can head straight down the I-20 and get to Birmingham.
