Question The Villagers

What is the average age of people who just move into the Villages. Just curious to know if any specific age range is moving there or are they all ages. Any comments on how old you were when you went to live there.

Right now I am 58. Our home in Buttonwood will be started next July and completed in Oct. Hopefully if our home sells we will make our big move in June of 2012. If it doesn't we are still coming. TV is all we think about.

We have been here 4 years - I am currently 53 and my husband is 62. My mother lives here by Nancy Lopez CC and she is turning 80 years young next month. I think everyone can fit in here.

Hi
We just moved into Pennecamp in Sept. and love it. Almost everyone moving in on our street (including ourselves) are late 50's and early 60's.

We were 57 and 59 respectively when we purchased last year. We're still snowflakes.

We moved here four months ago. I will be 69 next month. My wife is only 61. My only regret is that we didn't make the move several years ago. Now we have to make up for lost time!

I'm 53 (tomorrow) and my husband is 58, and we bought in Buttonwood over the summer. (Big shout out to all the Buttonwood folks on this thread: Oceangirl, robbie and vj1213 -- looking forward to meeting you!) We hope to be there this winter. Also, my 85 year old mother's home here in Ohio is for sale and she'll be buying a place down there, too. From what I've seen, there are Villagers of all ages and everyone's young at heart! Hope to see you there, Tomcat!

Default age of Villagers

We bought a pre-owned in Poinciana late spring and moved in last month. Hubby is retired and 63 and I am 61. We've had alot of company, so we haven't tried any of the activities yet except some golf and dancing on the square. Hope to get into the yoga, pilates and zumba soon!!
