Just northeast of Frankfort

The attraction of Frankfort Square is the school chain that feeds into an A-plus high school.

There's lots of local and chain restaurants. If you can't find something in town, you'll find it ten minutes away in a neighboring town.

I have lived in Frankfort Square my whole life, it's always been a safe neighborhood, everyone is so friendly. We have nice Community things like parks, roads, sports fields, and schools. I wish to see activities set out by the community to bring us all together, for everyone to know each other well and to see more kids outside playing.
