Friendly because it offers convenient and direct public transport, closeness to hospitals, a supermarket and a pharmacy within walking distance also reachable by bus or train
I live in a elderly and disabled public (state) housing community. Of course, this neighborhood is age-friendly because that is the main purpose of this community.
I think it friendly and safe you have people who are friendly good stories and near the trains bus knowing your town and friendly area good place for kid and adult
we have been here for 30 + years the neighborhood is just starting to change to a younger family neighborhood small school and young families are moving in close to the major high way and lots of shopping
Flat area with no obstacles along the parth. Easy access to transport n shops. People in this area are friendly n helpful. Close to park with great water views
Rural country living great water front lake homes party's all the time drinking
My town is small and historical. I've lived here most of my adult life and my 3 kids grew up and went to school here. Very expensive to live here but schools are worth it
Neighborhood has many residents around the same age as myself. As I do, many of them have pets and are seen walking them in the area. Most of them will stop and talk with you. Several of them are available if assistance of some kind is needed.
Lots of senior housing makes it and friendly. There is a Council on Aging nearby. It provides a brown bag food program for those in need. Police are very responsive.
There should be things to keep you busy & safe also. It seems as though Templeton fits this well. There is a library,playground,tennis court, We also have a few fishing spots in town.
