Renting

70% of people in Franklinton are renters. Our main focus as an organization is to provide affordable housing for low-to-moderate income individuals and families by building and rehabbing homes. Over recent years, we have shifted our focus toward increasing our production of rental properties. The development of low-to-moderate income housing directly avoids displacement of our residents and helps create a mixed-income neighborhood. We continue to provide and maintain safe and decent housing opportunities for individuals and families.

Our single-family homes and duplexes are managed by Community Properties of Ohio, please call 614-253-0984 for more information.

Town Square Station at Hawkes Avenue/Town Street is on the same corner as Gladden Community House, Avondale Elementary School, and Franklinton Farm’s Patrick Kaufman Memorial Learning Garden. The 10-unit apartment building is a mix of 1-and 2-bedroom units. We are proud of this being the first rental project to be part of the Central Ohio Community Land Trust, which means these units will always be affordable.
