Plenty of community activities, shopping, etc. within walking distance. Needs more over 50 communities though. Also wish there were more opportunities for those who would want to work PT.
Some people communicate more than other
This community is age friendly due to the different groups that live her, you have young, middle, older people that have lived her for many years. There's neighbors that look out for one another, whatever the case may be. There is a lot of love in this community every one sticks together, we eat, Pray, and love here. No matter what the age.
