“Franklin is your picture-perfect suburb.”
Franklin is your picture-perfect suburb. The entire area is absolutely gorgeous, and many of the homes are situated on beautiful rolling green hills.

The real estate property is in high demand for Franklin and home prices are reflective of that, but it is an area that is definitely worth it!

What is life in Franklin like?
Living in Franklin offers the best of both worlds. The suburban town sits within close proximity to Nashville but is also complete with its own lively downtown center.
