Best Towns in New England in Which to Raise Families
Boston.com recently issued a list of approximately 20 communities in New England that were the “best towns” in which to raise families. Franklin is one of only three Massachusetts towns to make the list. This ranking by Boston.com drew heavily from several years of content from the Bloomberg BusinessWeek “Best Towns” surveys.
Why does Franklin, MA keep appearing in “best of” and “top ten” surveys?
Let’s be realistic: finance and lifestyle publications have created a wide range of “best places” reviews. There are annual lists of “best places” to retire, raise a family, start a business, find a significant other . . . the roster of “best of” reviews can go on and on. The problem with these “best of” articles is that there is a great deal of pressure for new content. Every year, new winners must be named or there would be no reason to keep publishing the lists. One year’s winners don’t often appear on the next year’s “best of” report! And yet . . .
And yet, Franklin, MA does keep appearing in a variety of well-respected “best of” reviews, even though the town is not famous for anything and is not located in a glamorous or “destination” part of the country. Franklin keeps winning accolades because it’s in Massachusetts, one of the nation’s high tech and life sciences capitals, and because the town itself truly has a lot to offer as a place to call home.
