I believe that different parts of the community are age-friendly, but I have not yet found it. If I visit a neighbor to say hi, ask a neighbor to collect my mail, or ask for advice on a local topic, I will get an answer. However, most people have families, snd this is the nucleus of their life. I live alone and while waving across the street is kind, a visit would be more wonderful.
