Franklin County, Virginia
Franklin County is a two-market county, with Smith Mountain Lake driving a second-home, resort and waterfront residential market on the northeast side and Rocky Mount serving as the industrial and government center on the US 220 corridor. Roanoke is the metro that Route 220 feeds, so commuter demand and lake-adjacent development carry the county while steep terrain and limited sewer hold back everything in between.
