Lots of commuting between the city and outer parts. Different age ranges allowing all to benefit from the environment.
There are quite a few retirement homes near me. They have good access to local grocery stores, dinning, Bus accessibility, movie theaters. Just all around good area.
I just started my job search last week so I have not had any experience yet of being treated a certain way because of my age.And since I haven't worked in over 10 years, now I'm older. I realize that my age could be a barrier to employment. My long work history will show for itself that I am a stable employee.
Good transportation, lots of sidewalk ramps, programs for elderly.
Portland is age friendly because the city supports programs and activities that encourage seniors to be active in daily activities through community centers; jobs opportunities in the public and private sector; and educational programs that encourage seniors to participate and to continue academic goals including Portland Community College and Portland State University
