I am new to this community. I live in a 55+ area which is nice. I find everyone I meet to be friendly and helpful.
I think age friendly people are easier to understand each other ,because the age difference. I also think the children ,kids and teens also understand each other in a different way, but communication and a loving heart with manners and respect is the best and only way to a happy life.
Friendly .It is where I grew up.
This town has a lot of Winter Texans so there are numerous communities that cater to 55+ living.
I think this community is very age friendly due to the experiences I've had with many older age people for many years.
