Moving To Franklin Lakes, NJ Was My Best Decision Ever! 4.5 rating By Anonymous ( May 16, 2018) My move to Franklin Lakes, New Jersey was by far the best decision ever. I could not imagine living anywhere else!

I love the Indian Trail Country Club. There is golfing, swimming, and many more activities to enjoy, and the food is fantastic. I have made lifelong friends here ...Read More in town. There really is a lake in Franklin Lakes! It is surrounded by the most exquisite homes in the best area. The town is a beautiful suburb in northern New Jersey. It is only 1/2 hour from New York City, and from upstate New York. Employment in town is strong for part time and full time work.

There are many shops restaurants in town. My favorites are the Chinese restaurant and Market Basket, just to name two! Sport activities or popular here, and the activewear clothing stores are stylish and upscale. I love dining out with friends, and a night at the club! Two of my friends have also relocated here!
