But if you are 19, you can PURCHASE a home in the Villages. Buying a home doesn't mean living in one, or occupying one.
You don't have to be 55 or older to PURCHASE any home in the Villages at all. You only have to be 19 or older. You can be 19 years old, buy 4 Designer homes in the Villages, and rent every single one of them out to 55+ couples if you want. You just can't live in it permanently if you are not living with at least one resident who is 55 or older (notwithstanding the 80/20 rule).
If a 55-year-old lives in the house, then their 19-year-old child is allowed to live there too. That 19-year-old is not allowed to use the adult pools, because there is a 30+ age restriction on those pools. But yes, they may live there. That 19-year-old is not allowed to live there by himself, unless that 80/20 exemption is applied.
The law says that at least one person residing in 80% of the homes must be 55 or older. It does not forbid 19 year olds from living there too.
The deed restrictions prevent 19-year-olds from being the sole occupant of the home, and they prevent families, none of whom are at least 55 years old, from residing in the home (except in the areas designated for families, notwithstanding the 80/20 law, which is a law, not a policy).
