Potentially! There are countless stars which are much older than our sun and so have already had time for intelligent life to thrive. But so far we have not found any evidence of an itellugent civilisation existing

The rare earth hypothesis does have a huge amount of requirements though and so perhaps none of these known solar systems satisfy the conditions required for intelligent life.

I don't think it's too hard to believe that space is incredibly vast and harsh, and to emit any detectable signals requires incredible amounts of energy directed right at us.
