A walkable community

Franklin Park is a village in the Sylvania Township of Toledo that projects a country vibe. The streets are densely lined with trees, casting sun-dappled patterns on well-maintained front lawns. The roads in the area are a mix of straight and curvilinear patterns with limited access to major thoroughfares. It's common to see children playing outdoors and neighbors socializing in front of their homes on warm summer evenings. Many of the schools, parks and restaurants are either walkable or bikeable. Despite being a hub for business and commerce, the residential areas do not experience heavy traffic. The neighborhood meets the Michigan state line in the north and Interstate 475 to the south.

Top rated schools

"People move here for some of the area's best school systems," says Angela Bronson, a Toledo local and librarian at the Washington Local Library. Franklin Park is zoned for Washington Local and Sylvania City school districts, both of which permit enrolled students to change schools. Students can start their education at Hill View Elementary School, which has an A-minus grade from Niche, and move on to Sylvania Arbor Hills Junior High School, which has a B-plus. Southview High School has an A-minus score. The district offers a wide range of career technical programs where students can study fields like computer programming, cosmetology, robotic engineering and medical technologies. These programs provide students with authentic hands-on experiences, help them earn professional licenses, secure internships, and participate in career-based extracurricular activities.

Toledo's only mall is a centerpiece

Franklin Park Mall, home to the area's only Apple Store and anchored by Dillard's, JCPenney and Macy's, is Toledo's only mall. In addition to over 160 stores and restaurants, the complex offers entertainment, including the Cinemark Franklin Park 16 theatre and Dave & Busters with an arcade's worth of games. Two major commercial thoroughfares are Munroe Street and Talmadge Road, which are peppered with chain restaurants like Olive Garden and Red Robin Gourmet Burgers and Brews. Mancy's Italian Grill on Munroe offers comfy leather booths, wood-fired pizza and a bottle shop that serves chilled wines. J. Alexander's is a hot spot for fine dining. "It is on the pricier side, but the food is so good," Williams says. In addition to Kroger's, locals can pick up fresh produce and groceries at Monette's Market.

Gardens and a historic mansion

Centered around the historic and stately R. A. Stranahan Manor House, the 493-acre Wildwood Preserve Metropark is the most visited of Toledo's 19-park Metroparks. This expansive greenspace has scenic trails lined with sycamores and an elaborate play area with natural design elements. There's also a playground, picnic area, garden and a nature center where recreational clubs meet. On Sylvania Avenue, the R. A. Stranahan Arboretum features indigenous hardwood trees and walkways that provide a spectacular view in the fall. Westwood Park to the north offers a baseball diamond and basketball court.

The Annual Walk for Autism

For the past 10 years, the Autism Society of Northwest Ohio has held its Annual Walk for Autism inside the Franklin Park Mall. This fundraising event provides games and activities for kids and introduces their families to local resources like the Lucas County Board of Developmental Disabilities.
