Not true, there is constant turnover. In the few short years we have owned in the Villages we have seen many of our neighbors come and go. We have new neighbors in over half the houses in our immediate neighborhood. And since we moved in our neighborhood has gotten much younger. When we bought at the Villages we were the young ones on the street, not anymore. In a few years, as generations turn over, the Northern sections of the Villages will be where you find the younger crowd.
