Peoria Az. is situated very near to several retirement communities including Sun City, Sun City Grand, and Sun City West to name several primary ones.

The businesses, governmental organizations, and other entities that serve these various communities need to have the citizens interest in mind which certainly would include the topics included in this question.

I feel Peoria is very all age friendy. Great for families with young children to older adults alike. No age restrictions at all...and they allow backyard chickens!
