I would consider Arcadia to be age friendly community because it is very safe and make it easy for older adults to get around. The city is very community driven and aims to make every member of the community safe. There are a lot of options for transportations that is easily accessible for older adults/seniors. Everyone is very respectful and I can tell how comfortable people feel here.

I just moved to the area for college, so I'm not very familiar with anything yet. As far as I've seen, everyone seems greatly friendly!
