Stroglass, "the 55 rule" never went away. It is actually a federal statute. Any community that is designated as an "age restricted" community is required to ensure that a minimum of 80% of the dwellings be occupied by at least one person who is 55+. The community can impose stricter rules if they choose, but they cannot fall below the 80% requirement. The Villages could require 100% of the homes be occupied by people who are 55+ if they wanted, but they don't and to the best of my knowledge they never have.
