Hi all:

I am new to this forum and hope you could help me with some very specific questions....

1) I currently live in Boca Raton Florida, which is an upscale suburb in Palm Beach County FL - I have become disillisioned with Florida's many pitfalls (hurricanes notwithstanding)...I am interested in relocating to Franklin, since after my research, it seems to appeal to me...I have 3 children, ages 12, 7 and 3

2) I am interested in homes in the Meade of Avalon and perhaps Mckays(sp) Mill.....would appreciate your thoughts about these subdivisions from some non real estate folks...please note having more than 1/4 acre does not appeal to me

3) What is life like in Franklin?...I'm looking for the good, the bad, the ugly...again, I'm looking for a non real estate agent's viewpoint, which, in my opinion is unvarnished.

4) ok...I am Jewish, albeit a non practicing, non religious one....Nevertheless, in your honest opinion, will my family experience anti-semitism???...please, dont hold back

your thoughts and honest opinions would be greatly appreciated and you would have my sincere gratitude.....J

Franklin is great for kids and families for kids

I don't know the Meade but McKays is very nice and people like living there. Another one to consider since you don't want big lots is Westhaven.

It can be a little stepford wife-ish but it is a nice quality of life, lots of things going on, good weather, shopping and jobs

I don't live in Franklin but have been there several times. I lived in FL and know Boca very well and I think that woulds be a good choice for you. They both compare well. Do a thread search for posts about Franklin. They are always favorable. People love living there. Boca is more crowded that's for sure. As far as being Jewish, I don't think you will have a problem there at all. I'm sure some of the posters that live there will tell you the same. I will tell you this. It was a great change from West Palm Beach for us. TN is so much nicer, calmer, cleaner and everyone seems so polite and patient here. We also became disillusioned with Florida after 30 yrs so we hightailed it out of there. We have been here exactly one year.
