This study uses data from the English Longitudinal Study on Ageing to explore the extent and significance of the influence of "age," "place," and "aging in place" on the attachment to place in a large representative population of English adults aged 50 and over. It then examines the contribution of age, place, aging in place, and the attachment to place to scores on the CASP 19, a measure of well-being designed to measure some of the key sentiments and experiences of the "third age." The results indicate that age, aging in place, place, and the attachment to place interact in complex ways to affect levels of "third age" well-being.

Key Words: aging in place • attachment to place • third age • well being
