Southborough is somewhat age friendly. We do have the commuter rail in town that can take you to many different towns in Massachusetts. We also have two private schools that offer events that town residents are allowed to attend.

We also have a great senior center in town that caters to the seniors with luncheons, card games, puzzles, ping pong, etc.
