My neighborhood is age friendly because most of our neighbors are friendly and they come out and gather with each other sometimes. It's quiet not a lot of children and not a lot of pets

City bus is available, everything is close by, no need to go too far for anything, everyone stays to themselves so it's quiet

I'm fairly new to this city so, so far I'd say I've been seeing a lot of diversity locally with various age groups. From younger to older age groups. Very friendly I'd say.
