If anything, it is a credit to the communities that they have kept up with the changing times and are desirable to the younger retirees.
Yes. It appears The Villages will continue to grow, evolve, and thrive in the coming years with the influx of GenXers. I have a good friend from Colorado who is 53, and though he will continue to work from home, will be purchasing a new home and moving here this summer, in anticipation of his early retirement in a few years.
