Closely associated with Garden City South and West Hempstead, the unincorporated community of Franklin Square is located in the town of Hempstead. Garden City Village provides many of the attractions and amenities that are available within close proximity to this residential hamlet. One of the most outstanding features of Franklin Square is simply the lack of exceptional features. This three-square-mile hamlet blends quietly into the landscape of surrounding communities, offering an extremely stable community of single-family homes that are frequently brick faced. Capes and ranches dominate in this area that offers a bridge between nearby Queens and the suburbs. Deep family attachments, sports and civic groups, excellent schools, and uniformity in the housing market contribute to the overall stability of Franklin Square.
