It is a beautiful, little Southern town overbrimming with charm and fun! There are a plethora of family-friendly activities happening year-round. We have festivals ranging from Pumpkin fest in the fall to Spring fest in the Spring. Additionally, there is a massive farmer's market with locally sourced goods open approximately half the year which makes for a fun Saturday outing.
Lived here for 20 years. What was once a nice, quiet area with family owned shops is now rows of apartments and chain restaurants and gas stations. Crime is going up. Too many people moving here from big cities bringing the prices up, too many cheaply built yet overly-priced apartments and McMansions being thrown-up onto the quickly vanishing countryside for the elite vacation homes, pushing locals out because it's unaffordable and unbearable. Developers are rampantly building to entice those from other states, locals can't afford the mansions and have to fight to keep them from ruining everything and taking over with no regard to nature. Traffic is bad and very dangerous, and infrastructure is not able to accommodate the insane amount of homes being built. Most locals are looking to flee to find a place that resembles Franklin from 15 years ago. This place is all about profit for developers and a disaster waiting to happen once all locals are gone.
The town is very friendly and has lots to do! The public schools are some of the best. Most schools are new or being re modeled, and the teachers are always being trained in new technology. Franklin is also very family friendly. There are always festivals for families in downtown and lots of parks. There are also plenty of job opportunities due to the booming economy. Many large companies are placing their corporate office here and there are many restaurants and stores to get jobs at as well. The night life isn't as big in Franklin; however, Nashville is only 20 minutes away. Real-estate is constantly growing. There are thousands of huge developments being built each day. Commute is not long you are between 10 and 30 minutes from anywhere you may need.
