reviewsI’ve lived here my whole life and honestly always felt the safest in my home and my city. There’s always cops around my area which makes me feel even safer to know someone is always close to help in case anything happens. In all of my 21 years of living here I’ve never had an unsafe experience. The location is very reliable. It has many fire stations and police stations. It has many accessible markets, shopping, and food.

Rating 5 out of 5
reviewsGood family suburb outside of Milwaukee, with excellent schools, great local parks, bikeways and walking paths. Plenty of greenspace, and parks . The schools are ranked as some of the best in Wisconsin , and are competitive in football, dance ,marching band. The high school is on the larger side, but the staff and the teachers are engaging and dialed into the students. If you are looking to raise a family in a safe, comfortable suburb with little crime, lots of quiet, plenty of nature, and friendly neighbors , Franklin is the place for you. Franklin is currently building more stores and entertainment options near the Roc in Franklin. The Roc is a great family entertainment and nightlife venue in the Franklin area that offers minor league baseball, sledding, skiing, and even concerts in the summer. The Tacos and Tequila Festival happens every summer, and the Christmas Lights happen every Holiday season. Boerner Botanical Gardens is also in Franklin, along with A Golf course as well.

reviewsMy overall experience Franklin has been nothing short of a pleasant time. I have grown up here since birth, and I have watched the city grow as well. When my family and I were going through tough times, our neighbors were there to lend a helping hand. And that’s really what Franklin is all about, neighborly love. Of course there might be a few bad apples but you would hardly know it based on all the nice folk you will meet everywhere you go. And the city itself is thriving more than ever before now. With a brand new baseball team and baseball park for youth teams to play on, more accessibility to stores I/e target, and even a brand new top golf driving range (luxe golf bays)! If you’re looking for a place to invest to live in, I couldn’t think of a better, more friendly city than Franklin.
