Franklin Lakes is one of Bergen County's most spacious communities — a large borough in the northern part of the county known for rolling terrain, preserved open space, and homes on generous parcels.

Route 208 and I-287 provide regional highway access, and the borough borders Oakland and Mahwah. Everyday conveniences are found along Franklin Lakes Road and neighboring commercial corridors.
