A perfect sample of age friendly community due to it racial mixture, a community of family household, surrounded by schools. Individuals, old and young freely take walk as excise or please. Accommodates all religious set and promotes kindness or hospitality. .
I love in a quiet neighborhood. If you're outside you can smell other's grilling, you can hear children laughing, & the neighbors say hello. You can comfortably live happy if you choose.
Everyone is always smiling, saying good morning etc . The environment is very positive .

People with all ages and cultures live in the neighborhood. Community engagement is present through different activities such as volunteer program through libraries and churches, engagement through community gardening, etc. Through volunteer programs, organizations are able to provide free language education for many people young and old building a stronger community. Such programs allow people to engage with the whole community as they become familiar with each other and learning how to communicate to one another.
