Hi. You are correct that The Villages is predominantly a 55+ community and there is an age restriction for any children under 19. There are also a couple "family neighborhoods" where younger children can live. One is Bison Valley, and if you go in the Villages website, click on Homes, then on Preowned homes (rather than New) then search for the Village of Bison Valley, you will see one home currently for sale. There are other villages that are family neighborhoods, I just don't remember which ones. You might consider contacting the Villages Sales office and they can give you the names of all family neighborhoods and any other restrictions that may apply. They are generally very helpful and not pushy. As far as other towns close to the Villages, the town names closest are Wildwood, Lady Lake, Fruitland Park, and a few others. There are better sections and not so nice sections of each, like any town. From these towns you can access some of the Villages lifestyle, but there is a lot not available to you unless you are a Villages resident. Hope this helps and good luck with your search.
