The neighborhood is age because they have handicap seats at septa' stops.
Some of the neighbors are very loud, especially at night during the spring/ summer.
well I believe that North Philadelphia is very age friendly! From the elderly that I speak to in the morning on my way to work, the children that play up and down the side walks with each other all the way to the younger generation that hangs together playing music and talking. We have playgrounds, parks, recreation centers that have events for all ages, public swimming pools. There is something in my neighborhood for all ages to enjoy and we enjoy each other no matter what age you are.
My community is very well kelp I live in a private sitting no hanging on the corners neighborhood is fun and friendly

It's mixture of both there are nice people and not so nice people. It's relatively safe though when it come down to safety. It's liveable some places it isn't.
