Some are under the assumption that because this is a 55+ community, no one under 55 is allowed to live here. Therefore, when they see someone under 55 with a resident ID, they are stunned that that person is allowed to live here. They are truly upset when they find out you only have to be over 19. Not what they expected and, therefore, there is a resentment by some.
Try not to let them get you down. You'll find many accepting of you regardless of your age, just as your neighbors have. As to those that don't, their loss.
