It is illegal to discriminate against anyone based on age...the only exception is if a community has at least 80% of it's residents (homeowners) over the age of 55. This has nothing to do with new/resale, the ownership must remain at 80% or more. If the number of residential owners is less than the stated 80% the community loses the right to 'discriminate'. I'm sure that the 'powers that be' are quite careful to not lose this valuable ability to maintain a senior based environment.
