Originally I had thought that one spouse had to be at least 55.

The only reason I am asking is that I know that once our adult children, 40 and over, do see it in person one of these days........they might like it enough to buy a second home.

A few years back someone did explain to me that 80% of the population of a retirement community has to adhere to the 55+ and yet the other 20% can be other ages?

Also, children are allowed to live near the charter schools??? I guess if their parents are employed at TV? I can't find the posting now, but one family was moving in with children? I'm sure there are exceptions to everything.

You are correct about the federal law concerning age of residents in TV. Also, the Villages Charter School is a "charter school in the workplace" which, under Florida law, is allowed to only accept applications from a targeted number of a specific student population. Which means children of direct employees of TV, children of a direct sub-contractor of TV and children of employees of a business on TV's property. The employees have an option of living in a special area of TV. There are currently 2,110 students enrolled in the schools according to their website.
