This area is very diverse!
I Would Say Age Friendly Mostly Because Im Sure The Job Can Easily Be Done , Regardless Of Age. Such As A Younger Person Being More Physical & Fast Learning , But Also An Older Person Being More Wise & More Experienced
The physical and social environment are designed to support and enable older people to age actively. There is park, recreation centre and walk way.
There is age variation in the community, from baby to seniors. We have important amenities near by where one can walk to.
Public transport is available and its also close to main highways.
The community love one another, have groups that meet on Sunday afternoons.
The community is also very safe.
I feel this way because I love safety and can do all my errands in one place without driving far.
I dont quite understand
