We have so many questions and would like to meet Villagers and get the scoop. Feel free to PM us with any information if you want it confidential 
- Are there any negatives to The Villages? All we have seen are glowing reviews.
- What is the best way to find a place to stay for one week?
- What are the best parts of The Villages, that are on the lower end of prices?
- Can a mixed race couple (Latina wife) expect discrimination?
- Do you have to be 55 to buy? Can you buy and rent for one year until age 55?
thank you |
I bought at 53 years of age and my wife bought at 51. We have friends that live here that are 54 and 41 and other friends in their early 50's. I don't think from my experience you will encounter discrimination but there are +100,000 people here so I certainly can't speak for everyone. Send me a PM when the time gets closer for your trip and my wife and I would love to meet you for dinner, drinks or show you around
