Neighbors are always willing to help
The community I live in is age friendly because it is really quiet. Mature people tend to appreciate serenity, and the low crime rate assists in the community being slower paced and easy going. There are many after school activities for children such as the boys and girls club and sporting programs to aid in the redirection of energy children exhibit which helps the community maintain its peace.
I feel people are nice and age friendly to others. They are willing to lend a helping hand.
