My parents moved to Sun City Center in the middle of know where and it seemed all their neighbors were late 70's on up. It kind of turned me off to "retirement comm. living". NO OFFENSE to anyone older than 70's as I know I will be there too; just no hurry.
Having said that anyone here in BP under 70 is still working!
We have made a lot of friends and my wife and 2 other women started a Nifty 50's group.
We knew no one here when we moved and no one in TV so that is not a problem.
Am I missing something and should open my mind?
Secondly how is the quality/ build of housing? Does anyone have a 3 car garage or more than 2 bathrooms? It does not seem so according to online real estate sites.
I look forward to any input.
Thanks in advance.

If 57 & 63 are too young, then my wife and I are in trouble because we are in our mid 50's.
During our visit to TV, we never felt out of place. We met a number of people in their 50's and 60's that were there to buy property. We also met a number of couples in their 70's that were more active than most of our friends in their 50's.
As Tom suggested, you are more likely to find a younger owners in the newer villages.
Best of luck!
