Do you plan to live here for a long time?
Since I have lived here for almost 20 years, I am very familiar with it and sentimentally attached to it. However, I may move out of there within 5 years because the flat has no access to elevator. What I have to say is that my parents are getting old. For the elderly people who are not so surefooted as before, it is very difficult for them to climb up the stairs.

Do you plan to live here for a long time?
Since I have lived here for almost 20 years, I am very familiar with it the place [1] and sentimentally attached to it. However, I may move out of t here [2] within 5 years because the flat has no access to an elevator. What I have to say is that my parents are getting old. For the elderly people who are not so surefooted as before, it is very difficult for them to climb up [3] the stairs.
[1] The first time, you need to say the thing (e.g. "the place", "the flat", "the neighborhood", or whatever you mean). Afterwards you can say "it".
[2] "There" means something away from you, "here" means something near you. e.g. "Here in Europe it is hot. How is it there in China?" They must be different things.
[3] To GENERALLY go up, we say "climb stairs", "climb a mountain". (no "up", climbing implies upwards movement already). On the way down, we "descend" or "go down" or similar.
We use "climb up" when we are really climbing with hands and feet, e.g. "the small child climbs up onto the sofa" "she climbs up the tree". On the way down, we say "climb down".
Nice work, almost perfect!
