I believe it's somewhat age friendly depending on the ages I believe they do a good job giving access to the elderly. But I believe there is so many different places here and everywhere you go is different and you just have to know what your getting into. As for kids I believe there is not much places here can do. I believe they do there best but it's up to us to know where we are going and what kids can handle what.
Hi . My name is Kimberly and I live near the CE KING area on the North side of Houston. I believe the neighborhood I live in is very age friendly. The reason I believe that is because there are many diff Ago groups around. It starts from kids, teens, young adults, and elderly individuals that stay near and always being very respectful and nice. There are a lot of shopping stores as well as grocery stores around. Fast food and transportation as well. I love this community and that is one reason why. It's age friendly.
I'm not to sure because I just moved here to texas and I don't know anyone here
I believe my community has the resources that the elderly might need like housing assistance and reduced cost transportation. The area isn't really friendly in general but the older population is greater than any other age group.
