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.

Don’t be put off by the age thing. Been down here for three years, I’m 58 and my wife just turned 55. We have much more in common with friends that are older. Plenty to do. PS. I got schooled in pickle ball by a 84 year old lady. Just have fun.
