It's friendly because it has many bars, restaurant and meeting spots for young and old populations. It's only slightly age unfriendly because of the violence that can sometimes occur.

It doesn't have a lot of hills, very convenient to reach transportation. It is safe. It is a quiet neighborhood and also has a park and riverside. There are many different stores(CVS, Whole Foods etc.) and restaurants in the neighborhood. Hospital, MGH is also there.

It's age friendly because there are plenty of ways to get around (public transit, walking, driving). There is also an assisted living community in the heart of the neighborhood.

It's great for college kids and young professionals. So right now it's perfect for me, but if I was in my 30s with a family it'd be too loud and noisey

My neighbourhood has a sizable elderly population, so it provides a lot of helpful servicea to make their lives easier. The most visiblw of these is probably the dedicated seating on the buses and trains.

The neighborhood is unaccesable for older adults. There are two many stairs, hills etc. In addition public transportation requirs use of stair to board

Senior homes, and many parks. Many places have access to wheel chair. Senior prices for train/bus pass, senior prices for cinemas, senior prices for restaurants.

I think that my neighborhood in general is somewhat age unfriendly. Mostly due to the long stretches of highway, aggressive dogs, litter and loitering of kids who block off much of the neighborhood sidewalks at times with rowdy behavior.

I grew up in Dorchester and there are all ages here. Its always been a diverse neighborhood with all races and ages. I have had friends of all ages and color and they are still my friends to this day.

People of all ages live here with or without kids or pet..great food places..nice parks..the people are nice and friendly and helpful there are parks for dogs
