Did you not notice your outside surroundings when you were in the process of purchasing a home here ?
The Villages is now this huge sprawling metropolis with a Leesburg zip code and 4 other ones ! There are so many people of all ages everywhere you go in The Villages...not really a big surprise in my opinion.
Many pools are full of children of all ages at various times of day, golf carts are being driven by very young children, and the recreation centers are geared now for the young people as well with thier gaming rooms that were incorporated into them.
The majority of people occupying our cul-du-sac here are very young and still work because they are under the age of 50.
Another part of our neighborhood consists of young AirB tenants that change weekly.
I no longer consider The Villages this charming Idyllic retirement community that it WAS 16 years ago because the whole concept here and now has changed....it is for anyone that can afford to buy in here to enjoy everything that The Villages offers.
It's defiantly more about the
" Active Lifestyle " being offered and the word retirement is not even mentioned or come into play when young people purchase homes in here now.
However, It is kinda sad for us old folks that truly remember this place and it's original concept of 55+ retirement when we bought in here so many moons ago , a different world indeed....
