Close to Christchurch and Rolleston and home to Lincoln University, with its Crown Research Institutes, commercial research facilities and high-performance sports courses, it combines great location with a charming village atmosphere.

It is also home to popular community events such as the annual Selwyn Sounds music festival and CultureFest.

Like many towns and townships in Eastern Selwyn around Christchurch City, Lincoln is growing rapidly and new developments are happening to keep the village charm while preparing the town for the future, including the Council's Lincoln Town Centre upgrade .
