Franklin real estate blends the old-fashioned with a sophisticated present just “100 years and a few short miles” from Nashville real estate.  Visitors from across the nation are especially attracted to the unique blend of small-town charm, big-city amenities, and renowned Civil War historic sites.

The rolling tree-laden hills of this magnificent real estate in Williamson County offer many secluded settings and a literal parade of exquisite estates inside Franklin’s real estate options.  From Southern plantation to French chateau, from authentic Louisiana Creole to Scottish manor, the splendid Franklin homes are showcased on large lots in Franklin real estate, as well as on lots under an acre.  Price tags range dramatically from $65,000 for Franklin condos to $130,000 for a cozy cottage to several million for a picturesque Franklin home in greater southwestern Nashville real estate.

The beautiful 15-block historic downtown ensouls 200 years of rich history.  Commemorative brick sidewalks, enchanting landscapes, thoughtful Victorian architecture, and carefully renovated historic buildings draw both residents and visitors to the commercial district to the elegant shopping, restaurants, antique shops, clothiers, art galleries, professional services, and more.  True Southern hospitality simply enhances the homey experience of middle Tennessee.

 As word gets around, so do the rave reviews.  Most recently, the community’s visibility has increased worldwide through the publication of the New York Times Bestseller, Widow of the South, which is based on the Civil War’s epic Battle of Franklin.

The list of awards and recognition gets longer every year.  Money Magazine's Top 10 Places to Retire, Money Magazine's Top 100 Best Places to Live, Clean Cities Award (TN Department of Transportation), Tree City USA, Great American Main Street Award, Preserve America Community, Number One Small Town in Tennessee, Reader's Choice Award for Natchez Trace Parkway Scenic Drive, One of Five Best Places in America to Antique Shop, and Five National Register Historic Districts.

The latest honor comes from TripAdvisor, a new barometer of travel destinations.  The community made the list of Top Ten Hot U.S. Destinations for 2007.  TripAdvisor.com is the largest travel community in the world, with more than 5 million unbiased reviews and opinions, covering 220,000+ hotels and attractions, and which receives more than 20 million unique monthly visitors worldwide. TripAdvisor engineers look at several criteria including changes in search activity and postings. 

The Executive Director for the Williamson County Convention & Visitors Bureau remarked, “We are always looking for an opportunity to showcase Franklin and let visitors know we are a unique destination with plenty to do and see.”

Come experience this great place to visit, to shop, and, of course, to live.
