deb133, Although we just bought a new house in April and only come down part time, me and my wife are both under 50 (44 & 48) and neither of us find fitting in as an issue. Not having time to do all of the things we would like to do would be more of the issue. Everybody we have met and went out with have been very nice. Our neighbors are all 65 and over and I could not imagine better neighbors and friends. We have been asked if we were visiting family before as we are very young. We just politely say no, we are planning out our retirement early. You will see that when you go out in the Villages, everybody is having so much fun age is nothing but a number. Attitude and enjoying life does not require you to be a certain age. We feel fortunate to be living the dream.
If you see two peeps in a black golf cart with a Duval tag with a golden retriever in the back seat, stop us and introduce yourself.
