Lincoln Selwyn

Lincoln is a thriving small town, that is an increasingly popular destination for people to live. 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.

Just 20 minutes from Christchurch, Lincoln gives you more of what matters. More time with family. More space to grow. More opportunities to get outdoors, connect with your community, and enjoy the lifestyle you've been working towards.

Tree-lined streets, local cafés, parks, walking and cycling trails, quality schools, and a vibrant village centre create a place where everyday life feels easier. Whether you're building a career, raising a family, or looking for a better balance between work and life, Lincoln offers the best of both worlds.

Weekends are spent exploring nearby trails, enjoying local markets, catching up with friends over coffee, or heading to the mountains, lakes and coast that are all within easy reach.

For those seeking a lifestyle promotion, Lincoln delivers. More opportunity. Less stress. More connection. More time for the things that matter most.

The university's high-rise towers and historic red brick Ivey Hall are surrounded by some of the most fertile land in Canterbury, while the village itself is home to the enduring charm of Liffey Cottage and the rustic peace of Liffey Stream, Lincoln Wetlands and a large number of parks and reserves. 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 .
