My saying remains the same when someone ask me "Why would you want to live here with us? All the older adults?" I just smile and say "Didn't you wish you could have moved here 30 years ago?" I love it here!!!!

I "get it" and can see where you are coming from.......

When we were in our twenties and thirties, taking the kids to Disney World every year for school vacation week, we'd always say "I wish we could live here and/or open a business here".........actually, we did check into the business aspect......also, at that time, there were no regular communities there, but several have since sprung up........such as the town of CELEBRATION which is about 3 to 4 miles from Disney World and built for families.........homes and condos for sale. Last I looked, it was attractive.

In our own community, we've always enjoyed our elders which have enriched everyone's lives.......including those of our children when they were growing up. Everyone needs extra sets of grandparents to dote on the kids........and/or the parents I might add. We had wonderful gatherings with all age groups.........many happy memories.
