Most overrated things about Franklin
Curious what people think. We're a young couple and With a population of 35,751, Franklin is a smaller city. The unemployment rate is 2.2%, which is pretty low. Rent is about $1,325/month for a decent place. Homes are going for about $343,400 on average. The median home value here is around $343,400, which seems about average. People here are genuinely friendly, not just surface-level. The weather takes some getting used to. It's changing fast -some good, some not so much.
Pros:
- Affordable cost of living
- Low crime in most areas
- Good schools
Cons:
- Rising rent prices
- Lack of diversity
- Poor road conditions
- Mosquitoes and humidity
There's a real sense of community in certain neighborhoods. The suburbs are where most families end up. It's a very car-dependent city, for better or worse. There's a growing tech scene which is exciting. The parks and outdoor areas are a huge plus. I'd say it's better for families than young singles. Traffic can be rough during rush hour, no sugarcoating that. The weather takes some getting used to. Traffic can be rough during rush hour, no sugarcoating that. The city has invested a lot in new development. Cost of living is definitely rising, but still manageable. Property taxes are high but you get good services. The school system varies a lot by neighborhood. Property taxes are high but you get good services. The school system varies a lot by neighborhood. It's not perfect, but the community is solid.
