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.

Property Ratings at The Franklin Apartments
This is a very friendly, clean, and overall, a great place for anyone to live in. I am only able to move around in a wheelchair. My wheelchair can clear all of the doorways. This place also has an elevator. I can enjoy the sunsets from the top floor.
Property Manager at The Franklin Apartments, Responded To This Review
Your positive experience means everything to us. We're thrilled our accessible features and friendly environment work perfectly for you.
When we first moved into our unit, it was clean, and we did not have any issues with the bedrooms, bathrooms, the kitchen, or the thermostat. The maintenance people are friendly. Our neighbors are not noisy. This apartment is great, especially, for anyone who is only able to get around in a wheelchair. Everyone that we have interacted with here, is friendly.
