Lincoln Village is a neighborhood on the edge – literally. The more than 5,000 people who live between Highway 50 and Old Placerville Road east of Bradshaw and west of Routier roads, turn to Rancho Cordova City Council to represent their code enforcement and planning interests.

Winn Elementary, Albert Einstein Middle School and Rosemont High School in the Sacramento City Unified School District.

The 51-year-old community grew in fits and starts according to Lincoln Village Neighborhood Association (LVNA) President, Kevin Jenkins.
