The neighbors are friendly regardless of age, it has senior housing, senior center, discounts for seniors in certain stores, it has a food pantry and friendly stores
a mix of all ages. college students to retirees. This is a very pleasant environment. I don't want to live in a cocoon of only mature people. Young and old all together.
Many multi-generational families, there is someone for everyone to socialize with during the day, as almost every home has someone home during the day
Diverse age rangesx of seasonal and year-round residents. Lots of activities for all ages, good community center. Active senior center. Excellent newspaper detailing activities.
there is a very active senior center, close to hospitals and medical centers, there are all ages of people who live here age-unfriendly would be lack of public transportation and the fact that houses are expensive and there are no apartments close by
We have 3 elderly housing complexes and we are in the process of building a multi million dollar senior center. We have a great transportation van that is available to the seniors and a great meals on wheels program.
This is a quaint town with waterfront access and historical buildings. Easy access to metropolitan areas such as Boston or Providence, RI-lots to see and do in the area.
Quietest snd friendly establishments nice establishmented neighborhood well kept and historic families are living here for a long time anyone would want to live here
this town is most geared toward sports only if your child is not in sports you are pretty much an outcast town has no money for improvements for middle school but townies approved new millions of dollars high school
Not age friendly, too many children. There is a and Park across the street. Not many adults in the neighborhood. Not many houses around. Adults my age are not buying in this neighborhood
