I am a younger retiree (62) and we have been accepted by our "older" neighbors, very friendly when we arrived. Now good friends with several. Our neighborhood has a several regular golf groups (one for executive courses, one for championship) for both men and women. There are other neighborhood sport groups (bocci golf) and we even have a monthly pot luck (before Covid). We live far up north and the houses are turning over as original residents have aged out or died, and the new residents are younger retiree's like me. The older areas have more mature trees that were planted when the houses were built and were built on land with more existing old growth oaks.
The new areas are also mostly younger retirees, and there should be a fair number < 65. To me the new areas appear "bald", not having mature trees. The older housing stock also have their bond paid off (new houses get a bond to cover infrastructure costs that you have to start paying but is not included in the listed house price). Now that the bridges over the turnpike and hwy 44 are open the southern residents can cart up to the north.
