I would classify as somewhat age friendly for the area has retired and also subsidized homes and apartments. I observe other neighbors who have younger relatives visiting and they are appropriate in their greetings.

I believe Fayetteville is somewhat age friendly as there are many retired military residing here and outlying areas. Medical care is excellent, and cost of living is relatively inexpensive. Employment opportunities for older persons however is pretty limited.
