Our daughter is 45 and a teacher; I've shown her the Charter School information and the "Family Friendly Village" mentioned above. I believe it is Buffalo Ridge?
However, being that she is still raising her children.....an 8 year old and an 11 year old, both super active in community activities of all sorts, school sports and community drama clubs, Earth Girls which is like the old Girl Scouts, etc.......it makes more sense for her and her husband to remain where they are, close to college towns and close to child friendly activities and sports. Her 19 year old graduated from high school a year ago and is living independently now........but the two little ones would not be allowed to live in The Villages.
I had assumed, wrongly I guess, that anyone under 55 could indeed live in The Villages as long as the other spouse was 55 years old....or older.
Our son is nearing 42 and when he and his young wife visited, they both loved The Villages and he told her that he could see himself retiring there at age 55...........however, that will never happen as his two little ones are 2 years old and 7 months old....with more babies on the way.
Ocala looks like a nice area..........it's immediately above The Villages.
Looks to have a vibrant downtown and a mixture of all ages...........
Ocala is the "horse capital".......so lots going on if you like that.......
John Travolta and his wife own a horse ranch in Ocala..............
If I were your age, I would not want to live in a retirement community.
You are still young...........it seems like yesterday we were in our 40's; now our kids are.
