The community is rich with families. There are ample schools both public and private. Extracurricular activities abound for all ages. The community is an interfaith one with churches, temples, synagogues, and other places of worship that help keep families together.

Yes I believe it is age friendly because there is wide range of ages from young adults, older adults, families with children. Transportation and schools are each accessible and the community is in tune with the people.
