Chelsea is a city in Suffolk County, Massachusetts, United States, directly across the Mystic River from the city of Boston. As of 2013, Chelsea had an estimated population of 36,828. It is also the second most densely populated city in Massachusetts behind Somerville. With a total area of just 2.21 square miles, Chelsea is the smallest city in Massachusetts in terms of total area.Chelsea is a diverse, working-class community that contains a high level of industrial activity. It is one of only three Massachusetts cities in which the majority of the population identifies as Hispanic or Latino, alongside Lawrence and Holyoke. After flirting with bankruptcy in the 1990s, the once-struggling industrial city has reversed a prolonged decline and in recent years has enjoyed sustained economic growth. Thanks to its relative affordability and close proximity to Boston, Chelsea has added more than 1,200 homes since 2005, mostly loft-style apartments and condominiums suitable for small families or young professionals. There has also been significant office, retail and restaurant development throughout the city.

its quiet, easy to access transportation and friendly neighbors
The city in which I live in, is one very diverse and two it's a low income city where a lot of immigrants reside. Because of the extent in diversity within all aspects, everyone feels welcomed and most of all comfortable. There are daycares elementary schools, middle schools, high schools, nursing homes etc. - all these settings provide different environments for different age groups! There are parks for children and plenty if restaurants for the adults!
It's a very friendly town and has all access of transportation near by, grocery stores and shopping malls!
Near the apartments I live in, there are many elderly people who walk their dogs and we socialize with.

Although my community is a low income one with an ample amount of diversity, there are multiple resources that are available for the older community. There is transportation available to and from hospitals, the Chelsea collaborative (office on Broadway ) they offer a lot of resources especially when families lose a loved one!
