I don't know how anybody here could not want some people under age 55 and over 19 living here. Many people get really stiff and crabby after age 70 and it's good to have some new blood and youth around to balance it out. |
The Villages does allow 20% to be under 55. I only state it like that because they do not have to. If you look at the link above, specifically question 16, you will see they legally could change the 80% to 100%. I know this first hand as we were denied buying a condo in a 55+ community in MA as I was 52. I proudly told them I already own a home in a 55+ community but they dd not care....
I have owned in TV since I was 51 years old. I have never encountered any comments that you describe. I have no doubt what folks are saying is real and sadly it leads me to only one conclusion: I look OLD for my age
