It easily commutable based on local Bus stops and train stations within short distances
The community itself is very open to people of all ages and is comfortable with positively engaging with one another and building bonds and relationships
The city and neighborhood in which I reside is Age friendly because it is well within the school districts, as well as, homeowners and small businesses that cater to the needs of the community.
They are polite, kind, sociable
I think it needs more community engagement for elderly and more advertisement of event for elderly and disable people.
This area is age friendly because everything is accessible in the community for people of all ages.
Boston has a lot of affordable senior apartments, reduced fares for seniors on all public transportation. It also has good medical facilities and affordable health insurance plans for seniors. There are also senior centers for recreational activities and learning.
We are a gated community with senior citizen living. We have around the clock security on grounds. The senior citizens have shuttle buses That take them to the stores and malls. Church on sundays as well.
I WORK IN BOSTON NO PROBLEM THANK YOU .
I'm located between Savin Hill and JFK Umass train stations so transportation is good. My neighborhood is quiet and not much goes on. My high school has very helpful teachers and staff that keep me on the right track.
