The music rotates. Remember though - unless you've already been the type to go out every night to dance and be in crowds, you probably won't be the type to do that now. We all have a "honeymoon phase" when we first get here but eventually - only a core group of die-hards will be out every night - or even every week, to the squares. And this time of year it invariably thunderstorms every evening, which shuts down outdoor entertainment due to lightning risks.

Wondering if Eastport area will be more likely to be from the 1980s and up with younger people or do you find all age groups throughout? Once the Eastport area is completed in a few years.

Eastport will certainly draw mostly people who are currently 55-60 MORE than it'll draw people who are 75-80. However, resales of previously-owned homes up in the older sections will ALSO draw mostly people who are currently 55-60 MORE than it'll draw people who are 75-80. It'll depend on budgets. If someone wants to live in the Villages but can't afford a new build PLUS bond, they're more likely to move up north, where bonds have been paid off and home prices are lower.
It also depends on what people want, more than age. If a 60-year-old couple wants to be in golf cart distance to lots of shopping and wants the mature landscaping to remind them of their suburban life back home (wherever that was) they'll pick the older sections that have all of that already. If they want something shiny and new and want the environment to grow around them, they'll pick the newer sections.

Social:
So, looking to start over with like ages. Do you find moving to new builds vs resale has a bigger difference on your social gathering or did you find most social groups within the activities you join?

I know someone who lives near Eastport, who drives all the way up to Legacy Lopez for pickleball once a week. They're in a league. I would've found social groups to hang out with no matter where we lived. Hopefully you will too. I've found social opportunities right in my neighborhood, just walking around the block. I've ALSO found social opportunities by joining a couple of clubs that have members who don't live in my neighborhood.
