I think is age friendly because any person who live in this area no matter what ages they have would find that this is a great place to live for a very long time. Everything that a young couple needs to starting a new live together and have a family, growing kids and get older and retired they can find them here. I'm this area of Texas lives so many elderly people that look happy and I think it is because this town offer many things that not just a young couple could seen that this is a good place to live and start a family but also get older, retired and enjoy the rest of your life
It has quite a bit of seniors. Friendly and helpful.
My neighborhood is very kid friendly, there's a school in the area and a park! I would say it's unfriendly due to how busy the area is but it's safe.
I picked somewhat age friendly, well people here usually stay to themselves. It very quiet and I love it. The people I have come across are very nice to communicate with! jobs are everywhere here, so it's pretty easy to apply for a job and more and likely get hired.
