Tom and Linda.... I don't know who is telling you that, but, they are wrong. By federal fair housing laws, up to 20% of the homes can be sold to persons under 55 (with no 55+ resident in the home). The Villages is no where near the 20% limit.

Did you get this from a Villages sales agent or an MLS agent or from the grapevine?

The Villages developer's primary goal is to sell new houses. They would not let a little thing like age stop them from making a sale. There was a time, during the heydey of the 2003-2005 timeframe that they were a little stickier about someone being 55+, but, I haven't heard of any constraints since then.
