What we have come to realize is that we might be the people that like it a bit more than them. We play golf, like golf carts, enjoy dining out and work from home as we are both self employed. I am just south of 50 years old and my wife is a bit younger than that.
The question I have is, while I know the laws allow a small percentage of under of the age of 55 people to buy and live, what about the lifestyle? Would we feel out of place or looked at differently for being younger? Could we be involved in clubs or activities?
Not sure it is something we would consider with the inflated costs currently, but something we have been discussing and wanted to get residents thoughts on the matter.

No problem with the federal 55 community law---at least one occupant has to be 55+ in 80% of the homes.
I bought here when I was 54 in a newly built neighborhood. A few neighbors were a bit younger, most were about 60-65. Never been a problem. In general, younger people are in the south of 44 newly built areas, but also, as nature takes its course, there are a lot of resales in the oldest areas as well
