I am quiet, and old soul, respectful of others and always maintain a clean living space/ yard. What would be the honest reaction to having a young person live next door?
Assuming your post is not a troll, I would say this:

If what you are looking for is to play pickleball against and with people 30-50 years older than you, then this is the place to be.
If you are looking to play golf, cards, bocce and shuffleboard with a similarly aged set, this is the place for you.
If you are looking forward to chatting in the neighborhood with your neighbors, some of whom will have been retired longer than you've been alive, this is the spot.
If you want to hang out at the pools, looking at 70 year olds in bathing suits, you will be in hog heaven.

Come on down, and join the fun! You are going to love it here!
