Multiple retirement homes. Easy to walk to the subway. Easy walk to multiple grocery stores and restaurants and shops. Many elevator buildings. Some shops are in old brownstones so there are stairs up/down that may be difficult to manage. Car ownership can easily be avoided, and The Ride is able to get retirees to doctors appointments in nearby Longwood.
is a really nice and expensive neighborhood great place with colleges and lots of stores and hospital and clinics great school and parks for the kids.
There is a healthy mix of over 65, Parents raising kids, and kids under 17. On my street I have neighbors that saw now only my husband grow up but my children as well,
Great senior center. I've been tryin to argue for tax override omen real estate. Hope they pass it. Friendship works offers companionship. Can earn discount on taxes by working.
