Lincoln Avenue carries shopping centers, restaurants and service businesses, and the streets on either side are lined largely with single-family homes. Much of the housing near the corridor dates from Cypress's growth in the 1960s and 70s, though individual homes have been remodeled and updated to very different degrees.

For homeowners, that typically means slab-on-grade construction, original cast-iron drains under the floor unless they have been replaced, and a sewer lateral out to the street that may be clay or cast iron. For small commercial spaces along the avenue, kitchen grease is often the bigger drain concern.
