Is Franklin Park up next for gentrification?

Sarah Davis
Posted

For better or worse, I've noticed homes in Franklin Park being flipped pretty consistently. As far as location, it's is a prime spot for accessing central Austin and the airport. Curious to hear BP Austin community's thoughts on this neighborhood that historically has been pretty rough. 

Currently trying to buy my first property and this is an area within my price range.

Franklin park has been on the radar for investors even prior to tesla. Post tesla, franklin park is so hot that its on fire. Even still, I wouldn't buy just anything in the area. There are many potential potholes for not so good results. Gotta be careful. 

As a side note, there are folks that have the 44 tattoos that probably won't be able to live there much longer.
