Middle Tennessee City Honored As Top Place To Live in America
Recently, Money magazine unveiled its top 100 “Best Places to Live in 2017.” And coming in at #4 on the list was… Franklin.
Characterizing the 73,000-person city as “bursting with culture, charm, and hospitality,” the publication noted Franklin’s collection of large employers, affordability, 12.3% expected job growth, and 96% high school graduation rate as reasons for its inclusion on the list. In fact, Franklin was the highest-ranked community in the southwestern United States.

- A Top 10 Place to Retire by Money Magazine
- A Top 50 City to Start a Small Business by Business Week Magazine
- A Top 10 Great Neighborhood (downtown) by the American Planning Association
- Best Southern Town by Gardens and Guns Magazine
- #1 Small Town in Tennessee To Put Down Roots In by Movoto
