We have neighbors of all ages that get along. Even with many ethnic groups.We help each other if needed.bno questions asked. We all get along with being a nuisance.
Good area for kids good schools and good child care i don't like that there is no public transportation there needs to be but a very good town to grow up
There is a senior center about a mile from my home with all kinds of activites and services. But there is not a public transportation which makes it inconvenient if someone doesn't have a vehicle or doesn't drive.
Public transportation in my town is not well developed, which makes it not very age friendly at my opinion; otherwise it is pretty age friendly in general
Our neighborhood is a circle so there is only one way in or out. It is a safe place for kids to ride their bicycles and all the neighbors know eachother and look out for everyone.
They do have senior housing and a large senior center where there are a lot of activities, they go on trips, exercising classes and there is a senior bus that takes seniors that don't drive or ones that don't want to drive to shopping centers in our area
Lots of older people live in Arlington very quiet area low crime easy to get around community activities most of the people own their houses from after the war
Its am apartment complex with people of all ages. It is somewhat friendly. Some people here are friendly, and some aren't! The older people tend to,be nicer than the younger ones.
Lincoln School area is quite diverse. We have an elementary school and condos as well as homes. We have a subway stop and a railroad station as well. I think its friendly
We have a very good senior center with many available activities. There are outdoor concerts on Sunday nights during the summer months that mostly attract mature adults.
