I believe that is age-friendly due to the fact that most of us that are here is over the age of 50 and it's a very quiet neighborhood and friendly helpful to each other when needed.
The neighborhood I stay in is very friendly quiet close to Transportation however I have my own overall just a good community neighbors always checking in on each other kids playing good together so overall it is a good community
The area is quite people do what they have to do IN peace
Peaceful place
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.
