The area I live in now is pretty peacfully and its a lot of older neighbors I feel thats what makes the neighborhood more friendly.
We have people from all ages in my neighborhood, everyone works and takes care of the neighborhood in there own way for all ages ranging from 16 and up
The buses have handicapped seats for elders to sit and many place around offer senior discounts
This varies in location of the city in which I prefer I live in Detroit it really depends on the area in regards to friendliness of the community I live in a very friendly part of Detroit, , but there is also the variable of location i would suggest downtown. Detroit cause there are several areas to explore and people are more diverse as well as polite.
Great neighborhood. Very friendly to all ages. I feel this due to the fact eveyone knows and help each other. All kids play together respectful of the elders also.
