Based on their credit report. If they pay cash, then based on nothing.

TV is a deed restricted community so it depends on the deed restrictions recorded for the specific piece of property in question.

Generally speaking anyone of legal age can own property in TV. However based on deed restrictions, 80% of residential properties in TV must have one resident that is 55 or older and no residents under 19 are permitted to live full time.

Our deed restrictions speak of residents not owners.

Here is a link where you can access all deed restriction based on County and land lots. A property�s deed restriction will be the source to answer to your question.

Village Community Development Districts

I don�t know who actually maintains the records of 80% over 55. But it appears to be in all our deed restrictions.

You can be 19 and buy a house here. You don't have to have anyone living with you that's 55 or older. I know people here in their 30's buying homes here.

Because many have been researching and reading about this place for years which helped them to decide to live here. I know people who have lived here for years and are still struggling with concept and processes. It's not the length of time you live here but the amount of time you spend researching where you will spend your money.

I'm with Bogie. Research is all well and good. And I heartily recommend doing a lot of it before you move here. But it's doesn't compare to living here for really learning all the good and all the not-so-good about TV...or anyplace for that matter.

How do posters that been here for years think they know everything

I'm 47, retired, no kids, and purchased a new construction home in TV this year. But the real estate person advised me that I sell this home, I may not be able to purchase another new construction home until I'm at least 55.

You are wrong, Mary Jane. And the real estate person is wrong.


But welcome to the forum. Hang around. I am one of the post too often know it all's who will try to set you straight.

I bought here 12 years ago and also worked part time at a rec center for awhile. It became my understanding that one person in the house had to be 55+ and no one under 19 could live here. i have noticed lack of enforcement of rules on the increase and I don't think The Villages knows who is buying here especially when an outside realtor is selling the home. I don't believe they check renters either. In my neighborhood, there is one rental that has had various people in their 30's. Maybe they are relatives of the owner but they are still not 55+. There should be some sort of screening process.
