This town is age friendly we have a types we have senior homes and community helpers
We take good care of our elderly people
I will say that the community which I reside is fairly age friendly. I think Durham is full of young people. It's pretty diverse here. The cost of living I would have to say though is extremely high but there are some good paying jobs if you look around to accommodate general living. As far as transportation we have bus options, Uber/Lyft, trains, etc. I'm originally from a small town in Virginia so when I relocated here, it is a total different atmosphere and more city life which I admire!
The residents are very nice
This just seems to be a lot of older people than usual
