Franklin Square is a small deed-restricted community in Palm Harbor, in Pinellas County, off County Road 1 just north of Curlew Road (Palm Harbor real estate community guides, 2026). It was built from roughly the mid 1980s into the early 1990s and combines compact single-family homes, townhomes, and villas rather than a single product type, so the read depends on which kind of home you are buying.
Listing guides describe homes generally in the range of about 1,100 to 1,700 square feet, with two and three bedroom floor plans and one or two baths; single-family homes typically have a single-car garage, villas a covered carport, and townhomes shared parking. Confirm the exact size, bedroom count, parking, and product type for any specific unit, since the mix varies across the community.
Because this is a small community with an active HOA, the money is made or lost on the product type, the unit condition, and the HOA, not just the address. The drivers are the monthly dues and exactly what they cover, the community pool and shared upkeep, and the specific home, all of which should be read from the current HOA documents and an insurance quote for the exact address.
The pitch is low-maintenance Palm Harbor living: an HOA that handles lawn care, trash, and in many cases water and sewer, a community pool, and a location inside a strong Pinellas school zone, a short drive to the Gulf beaches, the Pinellas Trail, and downtown Palm Harbor. The work is the diligence: read the HOA budget, confirm what the dues cover for your product, and check the flood zone and insurance before you buy.
