Sunset Lake lies along the street, and the Franklin Street Conservation Area and the high school athletic fields sit right beside it. Braintree's Red Line and commuter rail station is about 0.4 miles from the street. Around three homes a year come up for sale here.

Around Franklin St
Scored against every street in Braintree.
Condos vs single-family
Scores run 1–100; 50 is typical. Prices are placed among Braintree MLS PIN closed sales of the same year, so an older sale is judged against the prices of its own time. A past or asking price only: we don't estimate what any home is worth. Scores describe how the market behaves, not the home or its neighbors.
Zoning, taxes & the land
| Zoning | Residence B (B). Confirm with the town before you plan around it. |
