I thought there was a minimum age requirement of 55, even for the children of residents.

I bought my home in TV when I was 49, as was my wife. It was a previously owned home. Originally I was told 55 for new construction, 45 for previously owned,.....who knows?

As a wannabee, I have been to quite a few open houses during my visits in 2010 and 2011. I always ask about a single person over age 50, but under age 55, with no kids -- any problems/issues buying a home in TV. I was always told no problem by both TV sales agents and MLS agents regarding buying a preowned home, but some extra paperwork/approvals are needed to buy new construction, but normally not a problem to buy new construction if you are over age 50, under age 55 with no kids.

Thanks for trying to be of help. Can you tell me if you know of anyone who actually lives there and what they think about it? I'm a Villager for several years and my niece would love to relocate w. her family and buy a home in such a community. Any info you could provide on any such development would be greatly appreciated. Thanks again.

Why not just take a ride thru there. When you see someone out and about stop and ask them.
