Baby boomers downsizing to a smaller homes in my neighborhood. Empty-nesters where their children have grown and gone off to college of gotten married.
Baby boomer majority of large percentage of town residents. Most facilities are handicap accessible. There are several elderly and assisted living facilities in or nearby the town.
Everyone has dogs which promotes people to gather and converse Having something in common also makes people more friendly and willing to interact also our neighborhood hosts many different events to prompt people to engage
I haven't notified anything specific. There is a senior citizen department. Lots of seniors seem to have a job at the local grocery store and they are all happy.
several friendly senior citizens; some young people with children who respect the elderly; the elderly neighbors usually let their neighbors know that they are out of town
It's older but I think there is a good mix of young and old. It's older because housing is very expensive, so in that sense it a little restrictive. Overall I would say it is age friendly
friendly to old folks and families with young kids and lots of mixing of people. there are lots of activities that interest all ages and many people participate on them
These are small condo units which are more fitting to older adults whose children have left the nest, and who are nearing retirement. They are affordable to those of us on a fixed income.
Hudson has a lot of community events for all ages. It has a bike path that young and old alike can enjoy. We have senior housing and several age 55 and over living areas.
Has senior places to go, has services available, senior center, lots of health care places, friendly people, nothing is too far away, have senior tide van, many ledgers in area
