It is age friendly cause it is a closely nit city and neighborhood. It is also very secure and safe neighborhood. Education is great with so many schools around the city. Transportation is also great with good roads and bridges
I have been working in Daycare Head Start for the Pre-kg for ages 3 and 4 years old until they would turn 5 years old. Now being able to go to Elementary School. While working with my students I couldn't wait to see them for the next day. They would tell you their story on the paper that they had draw. It would be so interesting.
Accommodating to seniors
I see elderlies around everywhere I go; some are alone some with loved ones or caregivers.
