I strongly prefer Franklin to Round Rock: a bigger and much nicer historic downtown, and significantly prettier topography.
I strongly prefer Austin to Nashville. While they are both sprawly, Austin has a livelier downtown and a more fun central core: generally better food options, more varied nightlife and overall both more chill and more cosmopolitan. YMMV
This is mostly true. Franklin is a weird combination of Georgetown and Westlake Hills - not nearly as rich as Westlake Hills, but not dissimilar hills, and better vegetation and a gorgeous historic downtown like Georgetown. The difference is West Lake Hills is 2- 5 miles from downtown Austin and some of it lakefront on lake Austin and Ladybird lake. Franklin is a good 20 miles from downtown Nashville...
Round Rock is boring generic suburbia - the inland empire without hills, north Atlanta without kudzu, Scottsdale without mesas or spas. Franklin has much more of a sense and feeling of place. At the risk of repeating myself, I would rather live in Franklin than Round Rock and rather live in Austin than Nashville.
Franklin has a great downtown and amenities. Traffic has gotten worse in recent years however.
