City - Franklin Township

With a fascinating history dating back to 1650 when the area was settled by the Dutch, Franklin Township spent most of its time as a rural community. And while it is still mostly forested and provides several lakes and streams, the population has grown significantly in the last 10 years. It has become such a popular location that often ranks on “best places to live” lists.

Franklin Township is home to several important historic buildings and locations, including the Franklin Inn, which was built in 1752 by Cornelius Van Liew. Rockingham, a historic house built in 1710, served as George Washington’s first headquarters. Other significant historic sites include the Van Wickle House, built in 1722, and the Wyckoff-Garretson House, built in 1730.

Franklin Township is a family-friendly community with excellent transit for commuters. It has top-rated schools, including a National Blue Ribbon School, Cedar Hill Preparatory School.

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.

Nice apartments but bad management

The apartments are new and spacious but if anything goes wrong no one will come to help you. Very very poor maintenance but thankfully since these are new I only faced it couple of times in last 2 years.

3/17/22
Horrible Management

Pretty apartments but management is greedy and unprofessional. Be prepared to call a bunch of times for maintenance. Better places with better management for the exact same "amenities". Wouldn't rent from RPM again or recommend.

1/11/22
much better then other places

Living in multiple other apartment complexes this is hands down the best. Brand new apartment all new appliances looks very modern. Maintenance is good just one person doing it right now for 4 buildings. Only thing is parking is tough at times. A lot of rules here which is better for everyone. Still smells new. Pet fee is great price and no pet deposit! Walls are alittle thin. But maybe the neighbors are just loud. It’s very pricey but I think you get what you pay for…

11/8/21
Smells like weed & cigarettes

The apartments are beautiful. They advertise different prices and once your approved they give you a higher price. Unfortunately although they claim to be a smoke free community the hallways stink of marijuana and cigarettes.

10/21/21
Pathetic Maintenance

The community and apartments are newly built and beautiful but the maintenance sucks big time! If something goes wrong no one comes to check or replace. They only procrastinate and you are left with endless chasing. Ultimately we have to live with faulty appliances, poor carpeting and noise issues. Once lease is signed, no one bothers to listen to any issues. I have couple of friends staying within the community and they've had horrible experience as well with the maintenance.
