I have found that price point affects the general age demographics of my neighbors with higher price points attracting more empty nesters and active older adults. Of course, this doesn't mean that there won't be younger neighbors but higher price points in places that aren't "family friendly" tend to attract more than their fair share of mature buyers who aren't interested in retirement communities.

I likely will stay in a detached house for the long haul. My wife might prefer a townhouse, though.
Personally, I enjoy living on a street with young people, kids, trick or treaters, etc.
But, it can be more difficult to just lock the place up and jaunt around carefree across country, etc.
