Great family oriented town! School systems good as well. Very Happy to live in this town. This town feels like home to me. Highly Recommend to others. Quiet, safe and nice! Cute and well kept center with Lil cute shops and restaurants. Plenty of parks if you have small children. Teens enjoy basketball and other sports in the many parks and schools. We have Dean college here and they run a theater in which all are welcome. We have the oldest library in the states here, Ben Franklin Library. Very clean town. So many plusses in this town!
Great athletic programs (if that is your thing). Franklin has won the Dalton Award from the Boston Globe for the past three years (Best Division 1 Varsity winning percentage in the state). That being said, the Music program is also top notch across the board as well (Elementary through High School). Academically Franklin boast high marks even when compared to the towns whos cache' is considered higher based on $$ or zip code. People are down to earth, great mix of professional and working class families. Town offers small town feel with big town conveniences (access to train, shopping, etc.).
Great schools! Check out the scores/rankings as compared to the more 'affluent' towns. Ideally located equidistant from Providence, Boston and Worcester. Has two commuter rail stations. Great downtown area with a burgeoning arts/music scene. Small town feel, bigger town conveniences.
