Many seniors retire here.We have a very large senior population.
I think Hollywood is age friendly. There are many families with children that live in my neighborhood that go to the schools close by (Nativity and Chaminade). I have always felt like Hollywood is small and see a friendly face most places I go. All the neighbors are very friendly.
