Like live there and enjoy them?

I know people say when you are too old it is nice to retire somewhere quite and peaceful but at what age can an individual best enjoy the big city life? (give me an age range)

Honestly: 6-35
Ideally: 0-80

After 80 most people probably just don't want to put up with tons of chaos and stress, I think.

Any age in which you have zest for life and feel able able healthy enough to enjoy it.

My neighbor in Chicago is 80y/o.......he is a young 80. He goes to the opera, dinner, concerts and plays and just enjoy's the city. Mr. Tyson is my hero.

He's still hanging in there. He travels a lot and he owns a hotel in Michigan.

I hope to be as sharp as he is when I am 80y/o.

Any age it doesn't matter. Just because you hit a certain age doesn't mean your to old to live in a city and now have to move to the suburbs in order to enjoy the rest of your life.

It depends on the person. Some people wouldn't like big cities at any age and others would like them at any age. However the group that moves to the big city for a time, enjoys it, but then leaves anyway likely is in the 18-35 range.
