High end restaurants. The Boston Red Sox. Community organizations. Market rents. I have lived here for 35 years and have seen many older residents who have stayed a long time
Age friendly bc there are multiple hospitals close by. There is a good enough transportation system There are churches of different faiths and libraries. It's a walking part of the city and low crime.
The are plenty of aged living homes around here and senior sevices. It's mostly safe, quiet and clean. Plenty of accessible transportation and local hubs.
It's a bit congested everyday so it isn't very age friendly. I think it's just not going to change anytime soon or gets better as time goes on. The city has few parks.
there is a lot of scools and restraunts and play grounds bus route local jobs for students and i have raised all my kids here now my grand kids are enjoying the area
It's quiet and there's a park near by. People say hi when you come out of your hi ouse as well as walking by. Many people on this street have dogs so that's a way to bond
Good library , town center is walkable with on street Parking , police station close by lots of restaurants , hospitals and recreational and cultural activities
Lots of litter, aggressive animals and long stretches of highway often male my neighborhood age unfriendly. It all makes it a but unwelcoming since those attributes are the first thing people see or hear
There are a lot of older and richer people in the location. So its hard to meet people young aged. We are College kids so there aren't many around that area.
The Fenway is very open to all ages. We have the baseball team, the Boston Red Sox, community organizations addressing neighbor issues, we have many restaurants and cafes.
