There is bus acessibility in the community, there is park for the children and doctors hospital for emergency.
There is fire station on the neighborhood
The environment is not a non chaotic one with families living around each other and involing in community activities most of the time. The houses have shopping malls, eatries, schools and pharmacies, including gas stations alla round less that a mile. No people smoking in the public and walking aimlessly, no threats at the malls, cars parked outside are very safe and no bad reports so far of harrassment or harm to anyone of different age categories.
Community engagement, giving to others and less privileged, keeping community safe for everyone.
The area needs recreational parks for elderly people and kids to use for leisure.

This community is age friendly because it is very divers. There is a nursing home across from my apartment complex as well as an elementary, middle and high schools within the same community. There are also metro buses that runs through there which make it easier for those without a car to commute.
