I have lived in my community for over twenty years and the community has changed. Alot of the residents have moved to senior living communities or have passed on. Its a new community, the residents are younger with school-age children and this is the change.

This community is age friendly for several reasons. First of all most of the esidents are elderly home owners. In addition to that the community has a senior center that is available for activities.
