The part of Allston that I live in is a little quieter and feels like a more balanced mix of people - not dominated by students and very family oriented. My street is tucked between 2 parks and is less than 5 minutes from the library. Bus stops and grocery stores are all close by and easy to access. I've noticed just from walking around so much there are often events to attend that are open to the public, many of them outside and/or visible!
I know the west Roxbury YMCA has a number of classes for older folks that is a lot of fun . The Roche Center offers a number group activities as well. I know the local police station E-5 community service office helps with transportation and arranges group outings, it's lovely area of Boston that offers a great environment for older people .
The neighborhood is mostly quiet. There buses on almost every street corner. Great schools for the kids.
Everyone deserves to live happily and feel safe where they are.
