Head south on Interstate 65 from Nashville about 15 miles and you'll find Franklin TN. Take Murfreesboro Road west and you'll drive right into the Franklin Public Square. This is the heart of Franklin Tennessee, dating back to 1799.
The quaint streets of historic downtown Franklin draw thousands of visitors a year. It's no surprise many of these visitors will eventually call Franklin their home.
The historic area encompasses approximately 16 blocks with homes dating back to the early 1800's. You'll find everything from large Southern mansions to quaint cottages. Historic downtown Franklin is a highly desirable place to live. The closer to the Franklin Public Square one gets, the higher the home prices become.
With all the demand for houses in this area, it's no surprise developers are constantly on the lookout for possible building sites. Many times larger lots are subdivided to accommodate new construction homes. Fortunately, much of the new construction is designed to look as though it's always been there.
These homes provide a wonderful opportunity for home buyers who want to live within walking distance of the Public Square but don't necessarily want all the upkeep that goes with owning an historic home.
