Franklinton is a growing town with new homes and businesses
In the west end of Franklin County lies the small town of Franklinton, known for its growing suburban communities and a significant land market in its outlying areas. The town has added new developments recently, including new restaurants and shops downtown and improvements to existing parks and infrastructure. Lot sizes of homes get larger as residents drive further out from the suburbs, with much of Franklinton's outer rim filled with dense Carolina trees and undeveloped lots. Greg and Wendy Dyer, a local Realtor team with Julie Wright Realty Group, say, "Franklinton is a growing community; developments like Woodland Park are great to move to since it's a custom home builder neighborhood."
Downtown Franklinton has a good mix of shops and restaurants.
The town of Franklinton is located in Franklin County, NC.

Tacos, steaks and drinks downtown
In downtown Franklinton, locals can browse at Archer + Pratt, a local craft shop with home décor, furniture and other gifts. Franklinton Square Shopping Center features two restaurants, a Family Dollar and a Food Lion for groceries. Greg and Wendy Dyer say, "The town has a lot of nice restaurants; people come all the way from Wake Forest to eat in Franklinton." Residents have several local restaurants to choose from, like Toros Tacos + Tequila, serving al pastor tacos, tamales and spirits. There's also Franko's Italian Steakhouse and The Slammer Speakeasy, a prohibition-themed bar. The nearby town of Wake Forest also has a quaint downtown district with spots like Broadsides, a piano bar, and the Wake Forest Coffee Company. A Walmart is 9 miles east of town in neighboring Louisburg.

The Carolina Manor House also hosts Music at the Manor, a popular summer concert series.
