I often joke with my family and neighbors that I had no idea how much I would appreciate my neighborhood as I age into my golden years! I initially purchased my home back in 1993 at the age of 39, a young buck! Adams Shore is Quincy's best kept secret, hidden away in between Quincy proper and Hough's Neck and Germantown, with the neighborhood is diverse both age and culture wise. All the essentials are close at hand including public transportation, parks, beaches, shopping and dining. Best of all the neighborhood streets are suitable for exercising, walking and the ocean is within minutes of my neighborhood!

I just moved to Quincy, and there is a lot of help for the elderly here. I am currently looking for a job, and there are so many opportunities, to help the people of this community and it's amazing.
