Lincoln Crossing, Lincoln: Neighborhood Guide
This is a master-planned neighborhood west of Highway 65 and south of Auburn Ravine, built mostly in the mid-2000s around a resort-style clubhouse.
What is Lincoln Crossing?
Lincoln Crossing is the master-planned neighborhood on the southwest side of Lincoln, west of Highway 65 and south of Auburn Ravine, reached from Ferrari Ranch Road. Its center is a large community club with pools and a gym, and its edges are creek and slough corridors the city keeps as open space.
The City of Lincoln's open space table describes Lincoln Crossing as a 1,070-acre development, with 207 acres of city open space along South Ingram Slough, North Ingram Slough and Auburn Ravine.
How did Lincoln Crossing grow up?
The plan is older than the houses. The Lincoln Crossing project record with the State Clearinghouse dates to 1989, and a Draft EIR for the specific plan was received in February 1992. It described 1,049 acres of homes, commercial and industrial uses, with 179 acres set aside for commercial and 110 for industrial.
Building came later, during Lincoln's fast growth after 2000. Resale listings read in October 2026 show homes built in 2004, 2005 and 2006, including some by Pulte. Later phases came through their own approvals; a supplemental review for Lincoln Crossing Village 11, for example, approved 166 single-family lots.
What kind of homes are in Lincoln Crossing?
Lincoln Crossing is mostly single-family production homes from the mid-2000s, built within a few years of each other, so many streets share a look and a set of floor plans. At about 20 years old, many homes are reaching the age where roofs, water heaters and HVAC systems come up in inspections.
The HOA is a real part of the cost. Current resale listings show dues of about $130 to $140 a month, and one says that covers fiber internet, a security patrol and access to Club Lincoln Crossing. Several listings also advertise no Mello-Roos tax on the homes they describe. Do not take a listing's word for it: confirm the HOA and any special tax on the Placer County tax bill and in the HOA disclosure package.
What is Club Lincoln Crossing?
It is the neighborhood's private recreation center for members. Listings describe heated indoor and outdoor pools, including a beach-entry pool, a splash pad, a full gym, a spa, saunas, tennis courts and a game room. Listings also describe the neighborhood as golf-cart friendly, with neighborhood electric vehicle routes and lagoons along the trails.
How do you get around Lincoln Crossing?
Ferrari Ranch Road is the main link to Highway 65, which runs south to Rocklin and Roseville. Downtown Lincoln and McBean Park are a short drive away. Because Lincoln Crossing sits on the west side of the freeway, a trip to Twelve Bridges or the library means crossing Highway 65.
Which school district serves Lincoln Crossing?
Lincoln Crossing is served by Western Placer Unified School District. Confirm the assigned school with the district directly.
What draws buyers to Lincoln Crossing?
Buyers are drawn to the club and the open space. Listings say access to the indoor and outdoor pools and the gym comes with the HOA dues. The city has installed an interpretive sign about Auburn Ravine at the Lincoln Crossing Nature Preserve, and the slough corridors run through the neighborhood as city open space.
For context, MetroList closed sales for Lincoln's whole 95648 ZIP code in September 2026 had a median of $336 a square foot. That is a ZIP-wide figure, not a Lincoln Crossing price.
What should buyers check before an offer in Lincoln Crossing?
Check three things. First, read the HOA disclosure package for the current dues, what they cover and any planned increases, since the club is a big part of what you are paying for. Second, pull the Placer County tax bill and confirm whether the parcel carries any special tax, whatever the listing says. Third, if the home has solar, find out whether the panels are owned or leased. Some Lincoln Crossing listings advertise owned solar, and a lease transfers to the buyer with its own payment.
Then plan the inspection around the age of the house. Ask the seller for the dates of any roof, water heater or HVAC replacements.
What should sellers in Lincoln Crossing know?
Many homes here share a builder, an era and a floor plan, so buyers compare closely. Updates that solve an aging-home question, like a newer roof or HVAC system, often matter more than a cosmetic refresh. Show the HOA dues and what they cover, since the club is a selling point.
MetroList showed a median of 37 days on market for 95648 in September 2026, longer than in Roseville's ZIP codes that month, so price and prepare carefully from day one. See our guide to selling your home in Lincoln.
