I say it's very age friendly because I've moved around this town serval times. Many of my neighbors that I had a connection with were either 50+ or older. They are very friendly, come outside and have a conversation with her my siblings, parents or with me. Out of my many neighbors I had a connection with only 5 of them had a education growing up. They would give us some type of resource such as telling us not to give up when we were younger, letting us know everything will be okay when someone was going bad. They would even bake us cupcakes or buy us snacks at the stores when they would go grocery shopping.

This place is age friendly because they are wonderful people, that love to joke around with you. They also love the people who help them

The concept of age friendly to me around here, has been globally coined by society, there is a growing literature growing on the community, that help hinder communities from being age friendly.....
