I believe that this area is somewhat age unfriendly due to limited public transportation and lack of community engagement. The public transportation is limited as far as where they pick up/drop off that could present difficulties for certain age demographics in getting where they need to go on a daily basis. I am not aware of any community centers or similar facilities that would provide consistent engagement near me.

I just moved here so I am not sure how age friendly Austin is, I really enjoy it and could see one of my grandparents really enjoying here though.
