Our Take
Franklin offers decent schools, a solid median income, and low flood risk, but it’s a car‑dependent suburb with limited public transit and a thin dining scene. It’s solid for families and remote workers who don’t mind commuting, but if you rely on walkable amenities or robust transit, it falls short.
