Average age in The Villages
 

I am considering purchasing a home in TV, however, I just turned 81.
Just wondering about average age groups there & if there are many in their
80's. Thanks - Arnie

There are lots of people in their 80's. The average age is higher in the older sections of The Villages.

Average age would guess 70-75

No need to guess. The data is easily found. The Villages, FL | Data USA

81 your just a pup yet.

Some residents don't abide by the agreement they signed and have their kid live with them... That may skew the statistics..

Only as old as you feel. Living in theTV makes you feel young!

What agreement? As long as one resident is over 55, and there are no children under 19, you can have as many other people living in your house as you want. You can also get an exception and have no people over 55 in the house, using the 80 percent rule.

There are all age groups here in The Villages.

We both moved here in our 60’s and it was exhausting. And we moved
from Tampa only an hour away.

My question to myself would be how hard is it to make a big move the older you get?

We right about your age and we're planning on moving to TV as well. In so many ways, the lifestyle works well for our age group and we see many folks who appear to be in their 80's or 90's. Good luck and go for it!

I'm confused. You have at least 3 previous posts over the past 7-8 years where you said you bought homes in various villages. What am I missing?

Maybe I'm just not reading them correctly.

That's a bingo with that reply. It's a great place.

That is the agreement, yes

You're right. Am snow bird & like a dummy, I sold last home 2 years ago. Thinking of moving my residence to TV now.

So you've owned multiple homes in TV, have snowbirded in TV, and you need to ask us about age demographics?
I'm really confused now.

Some kind of game we're not in on. :shrug:

I don’t necessarily agree that the average age is higher in the older sections of the Villages. We live between LSL and SS in CDD1, which certainly is an older section. Since we bought our home 7 years ago approximately 3/4 of our neighborhood has turned over and become relatively young by Villages standards. Housing turnover in a retirement community is constant, every time we hear an ambulance we joke that another estate sale is right around the corner. Many of our new relatively young neighbors chose to live in the northern section of the Villages because they want to be where there are abundant golfing options close to their homes.

I think I read somewhere the average age is 70. Seriously, teasing, I find each year I am a year older. Fitting in? I promise you will not be told to sit in the corner we know you are 81. I am average between average and your age.

Not sure I understand your reply. What agreement? The post you responded to is correct. One person in household over 55 and no one under 19. Do you think it is something different?

The average age in our hood is NOTHING but over 100!

Age
 

Average age 2020 - 72.2

Yes, there are plenty of people in eighties here. My whole street is late 70s early 80s. You will want to be north of 44 for that age group. The further north you go the older the neighbors on average. We live in Dunedin. If you have health problems check out availability of doctors for your conditions.

You’ll be considered a young whippersnapper if you settle on the orange blossom side :-) ;-)

I'm still on the young side of that line. That must be why the babes are always swooping on me. In TV I'm cougar bait.

67.2

If your kid is 19 or older they can live with their parents per the agreement you signed they can buy a home here but they can live here.

What did your sales person say? B

WRONG - about three years ago it was published to be 66.2 years old and younger people are moving in down south! I wou be surprised if it has increased.

That's only because you can drive at night... :D

WRONG! Let me Google that for you...

At 81, are you going to be able to get your monies worth out of the amenities or would you just call it a monthly donation. Before you decide check out all the extra expenses. If money isn’t an issue you can’t beat TV life, it’s great!

Uphill we always climb with caution, downhill we dash, carefree
 

You must do your due diligence. on live there that is important is there is no free community travel if you don't drive and taking car service it is expensive to get around. A lot that is said about living there is smoke and mirrors you must see for yourself and check the talk of the villages website you will be amazed at what is said.

If you are in good health your age will not be a problem as far as finding friends and things to do.
New sections will tend to be younger than older sections so you may want to buy a resale.

Living in TV
 

My mom is a few years older then you and has found majority of people she has met to be much younger. Are there folks in 80’s? Yes but are they among the oldest? Yes. Keep in mind TV has been attracting a lot in their 50’s and early 60’s (many of us who still work)

The wife and I are 64 & 63. We bought about 1 1/2 years ago. We're the youngsters on our street...

We're just north of 44...

No one knows the real answer even google because they are using voter registration and other self-declaring information. Not everyone who lives here is registered to vote or has a resident ID card.
I will say it is getting younger by the year and not older. The younger generation doesn't seem to work into their 70s and many of the younger generations have computer jobs that many can do from home. I know lots of people in their 50’s who moved to TV and work from home. The big cities are just getting too expensive and crime-filled.
But to answer your question anyone at any age can find friends here.

That would be full time residents or those snow birds who claim The Villages as their permanent address. My suggestion would be to consider renting versus owning right now

Age
 

Newer areas closer to 65 older closer to you so Orange Blossom and closer to hwy 42 and above 466 would in general be closer to 80

That is why transparency is very important when buying there. Thank you
