About Lincoln Park

In the 79705 area, it’s easy to picture a weekday starting at United Supermarkets about half a mile away, then swinging by the Midland County Public Library under a mile from the neighborhood before heading back home. When you want a low-key night out, The Patio Drafthouse sits roughly a mile away, and Torino's PIzza Bar is close enough to become a familiar “same booth” kind of place.

What stands out about this part of town is how much of life is anchored by Midland ISD options close by. Families in and around Lincoln Park often talk about the convenience of having SAM HOUSTON COLLEGIATE PREPARATORY EL nearby, an A-rated elementary serving grades EE–06.

Housing here reflects the broader strength of the 79705 market, where the typical home value lands around $351,700.
