Franklin
Neighborhood in Franklin Twp, New Jersey
Hunterdon County 08801, 08822, 08867
Homes often come with a lot of land
The sparsely populated landscape provides room for big properties; the median lot size is about 6 acres, though some are as big as 50 acres. That means houses can be expansive, too, and the average square footage of 3,600 is much larger than the national figure. Large new traditional and cabin-style homes sit out in the country, with more modestly sized Colonial Revival homes clustered together in the center of the township. Prices typically range from $400,000 to $750,000, but large homes can cost between $800,000 and $1.8 million. Some houses near the township’s many creeks and streams sit in flood zones, so lenders may require certain buyers to have flood insurance.

Trails and canoe paths in numerous nature preserves
Franklin’s recreation scene consists of rustic forests and creeks rather than manicured municipal parks. People can get outdoors by canoeing at South Branch Reservation, cycling one of the three bike courses through the township or hiking 4 miles along a defunct railroad spur at Capoolong Creek Wildlife Management Area.
/
Students can attend schools graded a B-plus or better
Franklin Township School has a campus for kindergarteners through eighth graders, and Niche scores it a B-plus. Older students can attend A-rated North Hunterdon High School in neighboring Clinton Township. High schoolers can take some of the nearly 30 Advanced Placement courses North Hunterdon offers.
/
Access to Interstate 78 on the north side
People typically get around by car, using county highways like Pittstown Road. An on-ramp leads from the north end of Franklin to Interstate 78. It’s a straight shot on the interstate to Newark and on to New York City, a drive many residents make, even though it takes between an hour and an hour and a half. “It’s an easy commute, but it’s long sometimes,” Malone says.Getting food from family farms, supermarkets and local restaurants
A shopping center on the north end of Franklin houses Walmart, ShopRite, T.J. Maxx and St. Luke’s Care Now, an urgent-care center. Those who don’t live on the north side are closer to Flemington, a borough with a ShopRite and big-box stores including The Home Depot and Kohl’s. However, the south side is near a cluster of restaurants that includes Marinelli’s Pizza and Italian Restaurant. Family-owned farms still operate across Franklin, selling fresh produce from roadside stands and opening seasonally for those who want to pick their own apples and berries. These farms also host occasional community events, such as the Annual Franklin Township Recreation Fishing Derby, a springtime contest between local kids.

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.
