Living in Lincoln County is such a wholesome and comfortable area to live in. It is a small town in which neighbors smile to one another and wish another a good day. The citizens in this town demonstrate a lot of southern hospitality which may be rare to find in other locations and we have a lot of small businesses ran by our home town locals that make one feel that we are attributing to our society. What I would like to see more is more adequate funding for schools and education. Unfortunately, with budget costs the schools have suffered the impact of it but hopefully with time it will improve.
Lincoln County is a friendly and social community. It might be small compared to other counties but there is so many outdoor and indoor things you can do. Lincoln county has a verity of small shops downtown where you can shop and help the community, everyone in the community is always there to help and support each other.
Lincoln county is a great place to live! There are many things to do and it is conveniently located within short driving distance to Charlotte, Huntersville, and Mooresville.
