I just moved to Richmond Hill. So far is pretty quiet and some of the neighbors that I have bumped with are friendly.
It depends on the early exposure of an individuals to what is expected from them to Aged community in general
I've recently just moved into this community, but since I've moved here I've seen that this community is very supportive with policies and services that allows all age group to participate in all engaging activities in peace and good health, surrounding the community and to enjoy it.
Because it's a affordable place to live
It ok
