The public transportation is very convenient to use in the Portland Metro area and its surrounding suburbs; the town is also biker friendly, which is often not the case in other large metro's. The price of living is on the increase, but generally affordable, especially since there are plenty of job opportunities in the area.

It is an accessible community with many services and resources in walking distance.

This community is somewhat age friendly because, while there are many restaurants/stores/services that are walkable, the public transportation is less than ideal. There are also several large, multi-lane roads, which do not contribute to age friendliness.
