So many people misunderstand this law in this way. What the law says is that in order to qualify as an over 55 retirement community, at least
80% of the
HOMES must be occupied by
at least one person over the age of 55. This is a federal regulation that applies to all homes in any over 55 community. It applies to new homes as well as resales. In fact it has nothing to do with sales. It is based on occupancy. Anyone can own a home here, even people that are not allowed to live here.
The Villages rule is that no one under the age of 19 may live in The Villages full time. No one under the age of 30 may use the adult pools.
It is possible, albeit extremely unlikely, that 80% or more of the residents in TV be under age 55.
The Villages keeps records by the amenity bills and resident passes that they issue. They do not make those records public.
