I live in a wonderful 55 an older community which is very well connected with lots of amenities on site. (pickleball, club house, pool, gym) Methuen itself has a very active senior center. The city also offers jobs to seniors with payment in the form of tax relief.
What makes this city age friendly is that people from all ages are working and given the same opportunity they will give young people.
The town I live in is small and peaceful. We are age friendly, since our senior center offers volunteer work for people who are interested in lending a hand. Also, we have active activities for our elders in the community, so they are not stuck at home. In the past few months, I have noticed more reliable transportation vans and buses for the elderly passing by our main public park and shopping centers. There are programs to help or even benefit our elderly community. One great example would be an elderly apartment building behind a main shopping center in our town. Also, there is a bus stop out front for easy transportation around town or outside of town.
They have a very busy Senior Center
Active senior centre, free and regular transportation, access to major routes, lower tax rate
