Younger generation respect the elder are here in Victoria Texas

I would say Age friendly, due to the elementary school that's near by. There is also a high school with ages 14-18 there. We also have a nursing home up the road from the neighborhood as well.
It just depends on the people you know and what part of town you live on...but for the most part it is a nice town to live in very layed back.
