The article notes Franklin's location which is a convenient 45 minutes to both Boston or Providence, its low crime rate, wealth of recreational activities and close proximity to some of the best hospitals in the country.
This is definitely not the first time that Franklin, MA has been honored in the national media. During the past few years, two major publications have voted Franklin as a best town to live. Family Circle Magazine August 2007 issue named Franklin as "Top Ten Places to Raise a Family". They based their decision on communities that provided "big-city opportunities with suburban charm" and that offered "affordable houses, good jobs, top-rated schools, wide-open spaces and a lot less stress." They also took into account commute times, health care, crime rates, air quality, cultural amenities and volunteerism. Franklin was the only New England town chosen based on an initial list of 1,850 municipalities with populations between 15,000 and 150,000.
