Best Places to Live: Top 100:

Judging by the Middleton Hills home page, I'd say yes.
At least when a developer in Franklin uses a spelling like "Shoppes" it's intentional.

It's easy to see why businesses love Franklin. With easy access to four major highways and an international airport, along with plenty of tax breaks, Franklin, located 11 miles south of Milwaukee, has attracted a number of major companies. Harley-Davidson has a distribution center there, and Northwestern Mutual has built a sprawling campus. From 1990 to 2006, the city's population has skyrocketed 51% to 33,000. The city faces the challenges of managing all that growth.

Middleton is where the great Middleton Hills traditional neighborhood development is located - coincidence?
Judging by the Middleton Hills home page, I'd say yes.
Middleton Hills is located in the City of Middleton, eight miles from the State Capital in Madison, Wisconsin.

We briefly considered Franklin as a place to live--my husband grew up there--but thought it was a little too...well...dull. Plus big houses on farm fields divided into tiny lots. We lived next door in Oak Creek and when we wanted to move we decided on Caledonia. We get to live right by the lake with nice beaches and I love Racine's downtown, with its' restaurants and Harbor. There just isn't so much to do in Franklin for a family!
Having said that, I think the housing market there is still pretty good, reasonable, but the taxes outrageous. Especially when you consider that Franklin needs more schools.
