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!
Most residents are still younger 25-40
Lots of Family Friendly Mobil Homes.
We are in an area that afords all these in a short distance.
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.
