Richardson has always been known for its diversity. Just north of Dallas it provides a real sense of community. The Richardson Today newspaper is a free monthly publication that is geared towards seniors with multiple activities listed. Canyon Creek neighborhood has always been a great choice for seniors who are retiring with a country club, tennis and golfing and swimming. The University of Texas at Dallas is there for those who are returning to class or who may want to further their graduate studies. There are also parks and creeks and walking trails.

The respect for the elder living, the environment is peaceful and considerate of all ages but especially for elders, making it suitable to come and go, walk and explore the surroundings in the community. People smile or speak when in passing.
