    City - Canton Township

    Canton’s recognition as one of the safest cities in Michigan is reason enough to move there. A strong focus on education, Canton is well on its way to becoming one of the fastest growing communities in the state.

    The area is ideal for families. It has a well-maintained park system which includes Independence Park and Heritage Park. Here, residents can bask in an afternoon of walking, watching their kids play sports, and bond over a picnic in the grass.

    Commuters have a short drive to and from the cities (yes, two cities!). Canton is just a few miles from the city limits of Ann Arbor and Detroit. When you live here, most of your conveniences are located along Ford Road, one of the main thoroughfares.

    School data provided by The GreatSchools Rating helps parents compare schools within a state based on a variety of school quality indicators and provides a helpful picture of how effectively each school serves all of its students. Ratings are on a scale of 1 (below average) to 10 (above average) and can include test scores, college readiness, academic progress, advanced courses, equity, discipline and attendance data. We also advise parents to visit schools, consider other information on school performance and programs, and consider family needs as part of the school selection process.

    Responsive maintenance, Good Sound proofing, Good internet availability, etc.

    Lived here for 2 years now without a single issue besides other tenants (only small problems with them too like peoples car alarms going off but that will happen literally everywhere). Something breaks and needs fixing? They took care of it same day (as long as the office was open). The sound proofing between apartments is fantastic. I've only heard when things specifically slam on the ground above me, but never voices or stuff like that even though there are kids (unless they are outside because obviously windows can't be completely soundproof). The internet has been great and consistent with no serious problems getting it setup when we moved in, though that's more of a review of our local ATnT but I feel that's relevant. Really the landlord has been super chill and cool, but still responsive about important issues. Really glad to have found this place when we were on short notice back then. It's been better than I hoped.

    Look elsewhere

    I called a couple of times over a few of weeks & they never answered the phone. Finally got someone & made an appointment to come see a model unit the following day. Showed up for my appointment (at 4pm) & the office was closed. I left a voicemail & never heard back. Not only are they unprofessional by standing up appointments but if the office is always closed (even though it says 9-5) I can only imagine what they’re like if you’re a tenant.

    Excellent and Affordable place to live!

    My husband and I have been living at Franklin Palmer Apartments for almost 1 year. This has been a comfortable and affordable place to live. Although the buildings are dated, Princeton Management is doing a great job to maintain the buildings and update the units. Amenities are pretty basic but there are no extra fees for facilities that aren’t being utilized. The location is very convenient for shopping, schools, community center, healthcare, and expressways. Margaret, the property manager, is super to work with and very responsive to requests. I give this complex a 5-star rating.

    Property Manager at Franklin Palmer Apartments, Responded To This Review

    Great Apartment

    I have been living at Franklin Palmer for almost a year and I am extremely satisfied. The inside is updated, clean and well maintained and outside snow removal was great. Margaret in the office is very professional, friendly and helpful. Located in Canton this apartment is an excellent value. Highly recommended!

    The best in Canton

    I have been living in Franklin Palmer Apartments in 1BHK for almost 2 years now. I do not have any issues with the management. They are very quick in fixing any problem. Twice a year they do maintenance check. Margaret is very kind and friendly. I highly recommend this place.

    4/3/18
    A good, safe, and quiet place to live

    In the 11 years I have lived here, any issues I have had with the apt have been taken care of promptly by the maintenance staff, who, by the way, have been here.almost as long as I have. Margaret, the property manager, is a very kind and caring person who does everything she can to accommodate your needs. For me, this has been a good, safe, and quiet place to live and I would recommend it to anyone looking for a place to call home.

    3/8/18
    Don't look anywhere else!

    I'm living here since June of 2011, I have nothing but positive reviews for this place. Management is very nice and friendly, rent is affordable, cheaper than all other similar apartments in 48188. Heat, water, trash pick-up, landscaping, and snow clean-up is included in the rent. Maintenance is free and generally fix issues within a day. After living for more than 5 years in a single apartment, the management willingly upgraded my kitchen floor, bathroom (paint, floor, shower faucet) and carpet cleaning for absolutely FREE!! I will highly recommend this place if you are looking for the good school district and affordable living in Canton - MI.

    A place which we call a 'Home'

    When a person works for a full day and when he returns home, what more does s/he want than a peaceful place to live. If you are really looking for a place, where you can feel the peace and nature together, your search has come to an end. This is a place which is very beautifully designed and has tried to cover the maximum benefits one would look for when he searches a Good place to live. The Apartment offers not only the good Home, but all the necessary amenities are taken care. The best locality, the Pool area, the parking space, backyard space, Picnic area etc are coming as a wonderful addition when you look up to these apartments. Moreover Kroger, Walmart, gas stations are within one mile radius. The leasing conditions are also pretty manageable and affordable. All in all when you really enter into the property, you could feel the warmth with which it is built. :) The people staying here are also very helpful and warm. So far, Have really enjoyed my stay out here and with the people staying here.. :)
