I'd also be concerned about the possibility that this 24-year-old might choose to not be single after a couple of years, and start raising their family - here in the Villages. With newborn babies who become toddlers, school children - in a community that has one very small playground isolated from pretty much everything.
You might all say "oh that never happens" - but it does. People will take custody of their childrens' children, and raise them in their homes. Most people moved here in part because it is a 55+ community and NOT a family community. Children should be absolutely welcome to visit. They should absolutely not welcome to live here. And in fact - there's an actual rule within the deed restrictions that state that you can't live here if you're under 19.
Unfortunately - there's no way to enforce that. If a 24-year-old buys the house and moves in, and then has a baby, NO ONE will evict them. It won't happen.
It sets up a precedence for a trend. There is nothing stopping this 24-year-old from moving in. There's also nothing stopping him from starting a family a year from now. There's nothing stopping him from inviting his 24-year-old pals to buy and reside in the Villages and start their own families here.
I'd kind of prefer to not see that happen. It takes only one exception to change a rule.
