The residents are very nice
Because their is so much crime(killings)in the community.
My community is age friendly Bc it's a lot of senior citizen walks around there and speak to you 24/7 and very respectful
There are many distracting factors that can make the area both "age friendly" and not.
I will say that the community which I reside is fairly age friendly. I think Durham is full of young people. It's pretty diverse here. The cost of living I would have to say though is extremely high but there are some good paying jobs if you look around to accommodate general living. As far as transportation we have bus options, Uber/Lyft, trains, etc. I'm originally from a small town in Virginia so when I relocated here, it is a total different atmosphere and more city life which I admire!
