Although it may be legal for much younger people to live here, the community was planned for the day to day enjoyment of people who are over the age of 55. People who are that age will be in the overwhelming majority and those who are a lot younger may be met with surprise. I would expect some surprise and some questions if I rented a room in a college dorm.

But I know they would grow to love me.

Gracie- You would be LOVED AT VIRGINIA TECH--My step-son is looking for a roomie

As far as why I LOVE to tell people--because they make such a big deal about me being young and living here. So- I do educate other residents. I think it is a great place to live and I have met a ton of great people in TV and on this website.

Yes, the majority is over 55 --it is the rule
