Lots of retired people live in my neighborhood and in Fayetteville. There are lots of activities for them to do, and a very active YMCA for them to socialize and exercise

I moved here to Fayetteville, NC 7 months ago. I am 61 years old and whenever I needed help in a store due to lifting a package or putting carts back, customers as well as store associates have always been very friendly and helpful and I never had to ask for assistance.

I am 61 years old and moved to Fayetteville, NC 7 months ago. From most of my experiences here in my apartment complex and in the local stores, people have been extremely friendly and kind and if I ever needed help with carrying or lifting something, I have always received help right away from friendly people.
