My answer would be YES and here’s why…
Let’s assume that we are talking about carbon/water based life like that on the earth rather than something exotic such as silicon based life, carbon/ammonia based life, machine based life or plasma/energy.
For life to exist we would need:

1. a planet in the Goldilocks zone where liquid water is found
2. A second generation star. First generation stars don’t have the needed heavy elements.
3. Sufficient time between major extinction level events (ELEs) on the planet for life to have evolved. On our planet that happens about every 2 billion years. Smaller ELEs like the dinosaur killer happen about every 100 million years

We have 2,000,000,000,000,000,000,000 available planets probably with alien intelligence - or do you think we are alone in space?
