What area did you stay in? The southern-half sections are bought or are being bought by people right at age 55 and even before that age, and in the northern half, many are being bought by younger people when original owners who bought 20+ years ago have passed on.
I'd look for a neighborhood's
majority age group, not because of dislike of "old people"(I love them because they're not out to prove anything), but because of the neighborhood's likelihood of having active and organized socials, outings, meet and greet patio/driveway parties, etc.
I've met quite a few couples who said they bought in a "sleeper cell" without knowing other neighborhoods aren't like that as they've now learned. Villagers are said to move on average 3 times
within TV, and the above is one of the many reasons. (Ease of reselling one's current place fast is a biggie.)
TV has extreme
diversity--a good thing, I think.
