Housing for seniors in Plzeň
In later life, what counts is what you can reach on foot: a GP, a pharmacy, a shop, a bench in the park and a stop. Which Plzeň neighbourhoods have it best and what to think about when looking for a flat for retirement.
What matters in later life
As the years go by, the area you can cover on foot gets smaller. So what decides is mainly what is close to home: a GP, a pharmacy, a grocery shop, a stop and some green space for a walk. That is exactly what we build the order of neighbourhoods for seniors from:
