Franklin Home for Rent

Franklin, a neighborhood in Merced, is primarily composed of single-family homes, with an industrial business section on the eastern side. The area features midcentury ranch-style houses in subdivisions and cul-de-sacs, as well as contemporary homes in northern subdivisions with well-groomed yards. There are also two manufactured home communities in the southern section. Franklin is planning significant developments, including the upcoming Franklin-Beachwood Park, expected to be completed by June 2026, and a new skatepark with Grindline Skateparks. Currently, residents travel to Merced for parks, including the Merced Dog Park. Local amenities include Major Golf Sports Center, which offers a driving range, batting cages, and a kitchen. The neighborhood has limited dining options, with Yummy Thai being the only restaurant, and M&A Market and Richwood Meat Company providing snacks and deli meats. The closest supermarket is a Walmart about 2 miles east. Franklin is a car-dependent community, located about 3 miles west of downtown Merced and directly north of U.S. Route 99. The neighborhood is safer than the national average. Schools in the area include Buhach Colony High School, which has a high rating, while other local schools have average ratings. The University of California Merced and Merced College are nearby. The Beachwood-Franklin Community for Improvement actively engages residents in community projects and plans for future growth.
