Getting in shape at the Tolles Parsons center is a great deal: I pay only $40/year. Beat that!
One of the best kept secrets for Wellesley residents over 60: auditing classes at Wellesley College for FREE. Every semester, Wellesley College generously makes available certain classes for auditing.
My wife and I have lived in Wellesley for 25 years and will likely stay here for another decade or so. It's a wonderful community with many great qualities: safe, peaceful, convenient. Town government and the taxpayer funded Council on Aging help to provide lots of great services and amenities for people over 60 including a stellar newly opened senior center that offers low cost meals, free rides, free or cheap adult ed and exercise classes, and more! While housing in Wellesley is pricey -- there are also first rate retirement communities in town and nearby.
Excellent services/resources through Wellesley Council on Aging: for example, I am currently being tutored by an excellent computer coach who volunteers her time. Additionally, Tolles Parsons Senior Center is now centrally located in a beautiful new building. In terms of livability, Wellesley is a very safe community.
I’m a huge fan of the wellesley free library... a nice quiet place to read but also to run into people (of all ages!) and catch up.
