What it’s like
The place. Franklin Square is a suburban community in Nassau County, on Long Island. Household incomes run a little below the county's, and homes here cost a good deal to buy or rent. Most homes are lived in by their owners, and a small share of residents live below the poverty line. Winters are cold and snowy, summers are warm, and rain and melted snow fall steadily through the year.
Work. Many residents work in schools, hospitals and social care, with others in professional and business services, shops and the building trades. Some of the biggest workplaces in Franklin Square are the Franklin Square Union Free School District, Stop & Shop and Garden Care Center. Commutes are long, and a good number of people work from home.
Things to do. Flushing Meadows–Corona Park, a large public park, is a short drive away. A longer drive brings you to Central Park, and to the Metropolitan Museum of Art, one of the best known museums in the country. The Statue of Liberty, a famous tourist attraction, is also a longer drive away.
