Everything is geared toward old people.
Age 55+ community had very little to do with our decision to move here, in fact it had almost nothing to do with it. The impeccable cleanliness, beautiful facilities, solvent "city" government, good home prices and uniquely healthy housing market, friendly people from all different states, and perfect weather were at the top of our list of reasons.

As for "everything is geared toward old people", I don't think so. We've never lived anywhere where year-round golf, bicycling, softball, outdoor swimming and tennis, pickle ball, dragon boating, polo, sand volleyball, and especially live music on 3 town squares 365 nights per year with healthy retailers all open were even a remote possibility.

IMO only a person who does not live here would say your last sentence!
