Westgate has good access to the coat bus system as well as a lovely park anyone can enjoy. Our recreation center at Westgate park has classes such as pottery and art that are fairly priced and some are even free. The community has a great neighborhood watch program and we all look out for one another. My neighbors even give me a call if they see someone new coming in or out at odd hours (like my house sitter).

I believe my area is somewhat age friendly because there are some places for example Kroger that will hire youth at 16. I barely see community engagement here.

There are many restaurants nearby, and a variety of grocery stores. My home is located near all major highways including I270, I71, and route 161. There are senior programs nearby, as well as senior living. Bus transportation is provided in my neighborhood if needed. The homes in my neighborhood can be tailored to individual needs if necessary (i.e. ramps).
