Texarkana is the twelfth-largest city in Arkansas and the county seat of Miller County. The city is located on the state line with Texas, with the population across the state line from its twin city, Texarkana, Texas. The city was founded at a railroad intersection on December 8, 1873, and was incorporated in Arkansas on August 10, 1880. Texarkana is the principal city of the Texarkana metropolitan area, which is ranked 274th in terms of population in the United States with 150,098 in 2016 according to the United States Census Bureau.
Located within the Ark-La-Tex subregion of Southwest Arkansas, Texarkana is located in the Piney Woods, a oak-hickory forest atop the flat Gulf Coastal Plain. Texarkana's economy is driven by agriculture and the city's position as a crossroads of three major Interstate highways: Interstate 30 (I-30), I-49 and the future I-69. Outdoors tourism, such as fishing at Lake Millwood, are also important in the region. The Texarkana Arkansas School District is the largest public school district on the Arkansas side, leading to graduation from Arkansas High School. The city is home to Texarkana College (on the Texas side of town), and a branch campus of the University of Arkansas Community College at Hope (UACCH).

Very quiet neighborhood not a lot of traffic or noise.
My neighborhood is close to schools, it is in town so people can get jobs and not have to drive a long way to work. Public transportation if one does not have a vehicle. The neighborhood is very quiet, not a lot of traffic. This are the things I think about when I'm looking to move into a neighborhood.

My neighborhood is very quiet, not a lot of traffic, or teenagers running the roads.
I Believe that my Community would be good for older friends and Family Because, Age-friendly communities not only provide the services and infrastructure to promote health, but also address other serious issues, such as poverty and social isolation.
