The news is not so bad for this Southern Appalachian town. Franklin, NC was recently awarded one of the top 10 "Undiscovered Towns for Retirees" in the southern cities by the Retirement Lifestyles magazine.
The awards were based on quality of life, housing & income factors, cultural and historical offerings are among the few that are taken into consideration. This hidden Gem of a town was the only town in North Carolina to receivetop honors from this publication. Dan Owens, the magazine's publisher and National Active Retirement Ass. director said "these unique places were recognized for having outstanding livability factors that we are certain will turn visitors into residents." I am not surprisedby this because I have always said this town is a hidden jewel and once people find out about Franklin we will grow and we are. Franklin has a lifestyle that retirees want. We have always been a strong in second homes and vacation attraction but I am beginning to realize its becoming their permanent home.
The top 10 Southern Cities on the list are: Conway, Ark. ~ Meridian, Miss. ~ Opelika, Ala. ~ Franklin, N.C.~ Lexington, S.C. ~ Abingdon, Va. ~ Oak Ridge, Tenn. ~ Opelousas, La. ~ Kerrville, Tx. ~ Fort Pierce, Fla.
