We have lots of posters on here who persist in claiming that there are villages, as a part of The Villages, that allow families. That is just not true. ALL of The Villages is age restricted.

As far as rentals go, I am sure that statistically residents under the age of 55 are being monitored because if The Villages residents 55+ drops below 80% of the total, The Villages will lose its federal designation as an age-restricted community. All sorts of bad things happen then. Not likely.

Until that threshold is reached, it is legal for 19-year old kids to buy even a new home here.

I certainly hope everyone will call the Community Standards and find out if it is true.


I have never checked it out, but have heard that there are 2 or 3 Villages in TV that do allow children and/or families. I have heard that from many sources. I would like to know if that is not true. I also heard someone say, either on here or on the online newspaper, that a 55+ community can vote if they want people living in it that are under 55. (without loosing any benefits of the 55+ communities) I seriously doubt that is true, but wish that it was. Has anyone heard that before? Hate to cause confusion, but would like to know if these 2 things are fact, or just fiction.
