mixed neighbours and very friendly with each other and helpful when one is in need. Additionally, we have a monthly neighbourhood watch meeting once a month to talk about any issues in the area and to welcome any new neighbours to the area.
They have a senior center with activities lunches shuttle service within the city and tax breaks and discounts on water and taxes for seniors so they try to help
They are rebuilding here. Adding new stores and homes. The area is centrally located. There are a lot of old houses there and a lot of culture throughout the neighborhood.
Age friendly The majority of the people in this neighborhood are approximately the same age Helping people to acknowledge each other But there is younger age group moving with children making the area a very nice area to live
I don't think Revere is age-friendly. There is a lot of different nationalities here. And different ages. A lot are young with babies or babies on the way.
Friendly a lot of people who grew up here still reside. Unfriendly too much gossip. There is hardly any commerce in the town. If you want to buy say a suit or other items you hve to travel a distance to purchase something.
Mix between law schools and medical centers brings people from all ages and cultural groups together. Also being so close to downtown and the Boston Common
Public transportation community center that offers services for all ages. Lots of shopping options easy access to major highways friendly neighborhood
My town is a wonderful, friendly place to live. It is great for people of all ages. The activities the town provides are age appropriate for all. They offer concerts on the common in the summer. They also have senior centers and youth centers.
Lots of kids, playground and park close to after school programs. For young adults not so much age friendly. There tends to be gang related issues that can be a problem.
