One certainty about a 55+ retirement community is rapid turnover. We bought our home north of 466 a little over 8 years ago. When we bought we were among the younger folks in the neighborhood. Since we purchased, easily over half of our neighborhood has turned over and become significantly younger. We are still just south of Medicare eligibility and are now about the average age in our neighborhood. In a few more short years of turnover, the areas north of 466 just might have a younger population that some of the first Villages built south of 44.
