Franklin homes and what they need
Franklin has older homes around its historic downtown and many newer subdivisions built from the 1980s through the 2000s.
Franklin's homes spread from its historic downtown and Dean College to newer neighborhoods along I-495 and Route 140, with Unionville and Franklin State Forest on the edges of town. Many homes built since the 1980s have bonus rooms over garages that run cold in winter and hot in summer.
Norfolk County stretches from coastal cities like Quincy to suburbs along I-95 and I-495, with housing that ranges from historic homes to newer subdivisions.
