What make this place age friendly is the environment itself. It is near 2 markets, corner stores, bank, barbershop, hair salon, gas station, daycare, and multiple bus lines. Located between two great hospitals Northwest and Sinai, you also have plenty of schools located in the area along with bus transportation for the children. Everyone in the neighborhood keeps an eye on each other we work as a time to keep the side walls, alleys, and lawns clean. The churches in the neighborhood look out for the children such as summer camps, after school programs, back to school rally's. Christmas and thanksgiving baskets.
It's surrounding by plenty of shopping and public transportation and hospitals
My community is close and is a mixed neighborhood with plenty of seniors still living at home
Because I live in the neighborhood and I know the people they are very friendly children and their parents if you need anything they are willing to help out any time.
