Community Description:
With approximately 1200 residents Franconia remains sleepy - a gateway to skiing, hiking, and outdoor activities - with little traffic. "Big Red" is located on the main street of Franconia, a classic New England town that features the charm of local businesses, classic architecture and prominent steeples. Just 5-minutes away you'll find a locally owned bagel-coffee shop, brewpub, multiple restaurants, gas station and a grocer.
Franconia is best known for its White Mountain National Forest. The mountain pass to the village's south is known as Franconia Notch; well known for its natural features, including the Old Man of the Mountains, Profile and Echo Lakes, the Flume, and the Basin. Cannon Mountain Aerial Tramway and activities therein.
Within 15-20 minute drives you can find more - more food, oodles of retail, movie theaters, live entertainment, brewpubs, spas, health services, antiquing and gyms. First timers often like to visit Mount Washington (the 2nd highest elevation on the eastern seaboard); waterparks, Storyland and Santa's Village with the kids; and one time to world-famous Polly's Pancake Parlor, all nearby. Within an hour, amenities of city life can be found in larger, brisker communities; fortunately, you'll go through moose country to get there.
