For pre-owned homes, I was told no problem since I'm not buying directly from The Villages, I'm buying from a previous owner. For new construction I would have to get approval from The Villages management to purchase in TV, but since I have no kids and only a couple of years shy of turning 55, it would not be a problem. All of the agents I spoke to said that TV's management does monitor the 80/20 ratio, and that TV is not close to having 20% of the residents under 55 (at least that was the situation as of last October). But unless I win the lottery I will more than likely be at least 55 before I can purchase in TV.
