I am aghast and can for over 12+years
I feel an age-friendly community encourage ways older adults can stay active,such as through volunteer work or paid employment.
As a realtor, I'd like to see more 1st floor master bathrooms and baths on the first floor.
The town of Dedham does not have enough apartments/condos available with first floor master bedrooms.
Great community, playground, great school, lots of opportunities for both adults and children
