sr....the 30 and 40 yr olds are most likely adult children living with their parents or grandparents and not property owners.

The good news is that the ratio of residents in The Villages to the number of sex offenders in the registry is 833 to 1.

What surprised me, considering it is a 55+ community, of which 80% (?) should be at least 55 years old.........of the ten listed as living in The Villages, one guy was born in 1969 which would make him 41 years old; another was born in 1960; another in 1974; another in 1972, 1978, 1970 with the remainder being true senior citizens. What goes in TV? Thirty something year old sex offenders are allowed to buy in TV? If one reads the news, many times age is no barrier. It's not always children they go after.

However, it is a small percentage and if one follows the tv news, "kids" today get put on the list simply for texting or sending photos.
The Villages, like all 55+ developments I have looked at, is allowed by law to sell a certain percentage of homes to people less than 55 years of age. It is stated so in my contract. The Villages say it will do it in cases of Hardship as determined by the developer. I imagine if a husband dies and his trophy wife is under 30, she would be allowed to stay.

How about if my wife dies? - I am her trophy husband!

Default Ten out of 80,000 is still too many.

Here is a link. I don't know how current it is but there are ten listed in The Villages.

I found it. I'd have to have a conversation with that guy before I bought next to him.

Chi town, you are so right. There are two sex offenders in their 30's living side by side in two separate residences on Laurel Bay Lane. One was convicted of having sex with a child under 12. When you think about it, TV is a good place to hide. My question is how close to a school can these vermin live?
