Franklin Manor is a single-story condo complex built in 1986 that primarily offers two-bedroom residences arranged in low-rise, walk-up/limited-elevator configurations. Units typically feature front-to-back living/dining rooms, eat-in or fully applianced kitchens, one or two bathrooms, and balconies or enclosed sun porches; many floor plans include walk-in closets, foyer space, and interior storage with additional storage bins in the lower level. Common areas emphasize practical amenities: an exercise room with machines and free weights, racquetball courts, laundry rooms on each floor, and a managed basement bike/storage room. Exterior grounds are professionally landscaped and include decks, porches, decorative lighting and sprinkler systems; most residences have assigned or ample unassigned surface parking and some units include deeded garage spaces. Pet admissions appear subject to trustee approval with some allowances for existing pets. The association covers heat and hot water in the monthly fee, and management notes solid reserve positions and on-site maintenance. Location benefits include proximity to Main Street bus lines, Melrose Highlands commuter rail, retail, dining, and downtown Melrose conveniences within walking distance.
