I grew up in Dorchester and there are all ages here. Its always been a diverse neighborhood with all races and ages. I have had friends of all ages and color and they are still my friends to this day.

People of all ages live here with or without kids or pet..great food places..nice parks..the people are nice and friendly and helpful there are parks for dogs

It's part of a big city, but has a small town feel. Neighbors help neighbors. We recently had a tragic accident in my neighborhood--everyone banded together to help the people involved

it has lots of places where you can have fun and comfort,also provides opportunities for people to engage in meaningful work, whether or not it's paid work.It makes you feel useful and to feel that you're making a contribution.

It is a college area but there are families, some of the landlords do not keep up the buildings and rent them out to 6 or more college students on each floor. It makes for an environment off putting to other demographics

there are a lot of people that are similar to me living there. there really is not a lot to do but it is a great place to live and raise a family. it is family friendly neighborhood.

They hold many ethnic parades all year round, there are also stores for days brand name stores selling all kinds of merchandise, jobs for a younger generation looking for a career. Yes alot of variety .

It is not age friendly because there are a lot of violence here. there is also a bullying problem at schools and there are not many safe areas for children.

there is something to do for every age group. from playgrounds and parks to walking and bike trails and good local restaurants, farmers markets during the summer. movies in the park on weekends during the summer

It's age friendly in that everything is close by and accessable. It's not age friendly in that city living can be very fast paced. For example, walk lights to cross busy intersections are only 20 seconds long. Individuals with mobility impairments might find this limiting.
