Carve out a home in the countryside with a spot in Franklin. This Fayette County township is defined by its scenery, full of wide-open spaces and winding country roads, cut into a landscape whose contours come courtesy of the nearby Appalachian Mountains. “There are a lot of rolling hills,” says local Realtor Jeffrey Dennis of eXp Realty. “It’s not very far from everything, but it’s country.”<br><br>The housing inventory in Franklin features a blend of old options and newer options, built on land that’s been sold off or subdivided, Dennis says. Some of the older homes in this area date back to the 19th century. Many of the houses here are classic farmhouses, Dennis says, so lots that stretch several acres or more aren’t uncommon. Lot sizes in this area start at about 7,400 square feet. Though there’s not a robust inventory here, there is demand for options that do hit the market. “Homes do not last very long out here, especially nice ones,” says Dennis, who has been an agent in the area for a decade. Houses in Franklin sell for prices ranging from under $100,000 to the $200,000s. “Usually when people move there, they stay there,” Dennis says. “A lot of people here are generational families.” <br><br>Kids in Franklin can enter schools in the Uniontown Area School District, which carries a B- overall rating on Niche. Students can start at Franklin Elementary, which has a B- grade of its own and serves those in kindergarten through sixth grade. Franklin Elementary has a student-teacher ratio of 15-to-1, better than the national average. Students may then move on to the C-rated Lafayette Elementary/Middle to complete Grades 7 and 8. The teachers at Lafayette have a B- grade and the student-teacher ratio here is just 13-to-1. Students then progress to the B-rated Uniontown Area High School, where there are almost 30 different clubs, from a Biology Club to a Ski Club. <br><br>One of the recreational treats available to Franklin residents is the Franklin Community Park/Pool. The pool is open during the warmer months, starting in late May, and features multiple slides. Swimming lessons are available here, too. The park includes a playground, walking trails and a half-dozen pavilions. Hikers here can take advantage of the Great Allegheny Passage, a portion of which cuts through Franklin. This trail stretches 150 miles total, into Maryland. The trail parallels part of the Youghiogheny River, a fly fishing hotspot. Those in Franklin looking for a fall thrill can visit Allen’s Haunted Hayrides and Tavern of Terror, open from late September to late October on the site of a dairy farm. The hayride stretches 1 mile, through a haunted barn, forest and fields, and the tavern is a 3,500-square-foot haunted walk. “When I think of that area, the hayride pops out,” Dennis says. <br><br>Franklin residents can head north into Perryopolis or south into Uniontown for shopping and dining. B&B Family Diner is a well-liked restaurant in Perryopolis, known for its palatable prices and its huge pancakes. There’s a Walmart Supercenter in Uniontown, convenient for grabbing groceries and other essentials. Pennsylvania State Route 51 runs through Franklin, an artery residents can use to access some of the amenities of the surrounding areas. <br><br>Then, residents can return home to Franklin’s signature tranquility, soaking in this area’s rustic charm. “A lot of the places are heavily open. Which is what draws a lot of people to our area,” Dennis says. “Because you don’t have skyscrapers, you don’t have huge cities.
