There is a high level of community engagement and activity. However, in terms of walking/mobility, the neighborhood is hilly with lots of cobblestone sidewalks and streets. There are easily accessible restaurants and shops, but parking is trickier.
I enjoy helping doing for people what other cannot do
I've recently moved to the Dorchester neighborhood located in Boston, Massachusetts. My time spent in this area has been pleasant. Traveling on the public transportation has been a safe experience. Local parks are clean and enjoyable. Walking throughout the neighborhood has been refreshing and gracious. I enjoy this area very much.
My neighborhood Fenway has lots of job opportunities and resources and it's in a quiet and relaxed environment. The people that live in Fenway are very helpful there is this organization called Fenway Cdc where they host events and help the elderly they have a weekly food giveaway called fair foods.
Really seems like a great community to be a part of!!! :)
Transportation, how the city is so busy
I enjoy working with people and do very well with older people everyone needs special care
You don't need a car and there are shops nearby.
Everything is so close and you are able to get where you need to via public transportation. There are some spots where you will need a personal vehicle as well as barely any parking but if you walk anywhere, there won't be any need for that.
Everything is easy there's a lot of store nearby public transportation is easy
