The Franklin market specifically
Franklin is largely single-family housing, and families here often compare options across Franklin, Oak Creek and Greenfield interchangeably rather than treating each suburb as a separate search area.
Because Franklin borders both Milwaukee and Waukesha counties, families here sometimes end up comparing options as far afield as Muskego, not just the closer Milwaukee County suburbs.
