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....
Not sure where you bought 16 years ago, but in 2007 we in our early 50s buying a home, and some people we met were in their 40s, buying homes in LSL area. So young under 55 have always owned here. As the northern residents move because of health, or death, 40&50 yo residents buying homes look pretty young to 80 and 90 yo.
