Buying a Franklin, TN Home

While the city of Franklin, TN only lies 21 short miles from the bright neon lights and constant hustle-and-bustle of nearby Nashville, the community’s constant and dedicated effort to preserve an authentic small town ambiance feels worlds away from one of the fastest growing cities in America right now. Loaded with upscale antique shops, trendy restaurants and cafes, and countless book stores, art galleries, and boutique shops, Downtown Franklin feels like something straight of a storybook, which is only one of many desirable aspects about one day calling this one-of-a-kind Middle Tennessee city home.

The architecture and the buildings themselves in Franklin are historic, but while many local residents and home owners certainly appreciate the city’s history, there’s also a sense of modern sophistication here that makes for a unique and interesting dynamic.
