Quiet, everyone knows everybody, all of different ages different nationslities. People protecting people, homeless people, lots of pools ,shopping, restaurents, bands quiet place to live.
There is an age range of 2 years to 90 plus in my neighborhood. The schools are excellent and a major hospital is just 10 minutes away. Shopping is also excellent.
neighborhood changes every 20 years so there is a true mix of age groups so I am currently looking to re-locate to a 55+ condo in another town in this section of the state
It's very quiet. All home owners. Houses separated by a lot of land. Everyone is around the same age. Neighbors all care about the appearance of their property
I live in affordable elderly housing the staff plays favorites but they do have events in their community room for all living there.The neighbors are very clicky. There are no amenities and the apartments are very small studio units.
typical white collar neighborhood age varies but mostly mature to elderly with homes approximately 45 years old and it;s a suburban neighborhood, single family homes
Lots of mix of people. Young old middle age.there are moms . Kids retired . Homes for the elderly. Would like to see something for young people. Lots of seniors
I hate my city I hate my neighborhood I have no voice here It's age unfriendly To racial To many people scamming the low incoming housing system . A bunch of people who only welcome their own kind
Our neighborhood is of different ages, I really dont think it's an age thing. I think when ppl/houses are close to each other ppl tend to be less friendlier. That's just my opinion.
I live in a beautiful neighborhood. First of all I live in an elderly apartment complex. There are 6 of us on the floor and we watch out for each other. We bake and share for each other. We live right downtown so we can walk easily to the drugstore and restaurants. The concerts and movies on the common are right behind are apartment. If we need to go grocery shopping I call the Mart bus as I don't drive and tell them what time I want to be picked up and where I want to go, they take me and take me right to my door. I go for a walk every day downtown and enjoy all the hustle and bustle going on. I'm watching them build a new branch of my bank. I love where I live.
