This is very confusing to me.. if no one under 19 is allowed to live here, who is going to The Villages Charter Schools? I heard from my parents who are new comers that people who do not meet the age requirement can live in the Villages if they are working in The Villages. They even told me there is a section for them to live and buy in. Is this true??
:confused:

Keeping track is really simple. The birth dates on your ID cards go into a database.

The Villages Charter School is for the children of TV employees. It is considered one of the “perks” of working for The Villages. Yes, there are two (maybe three?) “family” villages where children under 19 can live. But I’m pretty sure that they don’t pay for or have access to the amenities (rec centers, pools, etc.). Hopefully someone with better knowledge about the “family areas” will chime in.

I beleive Bison Valley, Oak Meadows, and Spring Arbor are the "family villages". You are correct that the school is for employees children and they may or may not live in one of the family villages. The residents of those villages are not eligible for the amenities you mention.

Students in the Charter Schools come from all over this area. Prior to the morning school start time it is like a parade with all the cars dropping off the kids and the dismissal time brings a long, long line of cars waiting to pick up the kids.

Ask your parents to look at their deed restrictions. Section 2 - Covenats, Conditions and Restrictions. Article 2.24.
These can be found here;
VCDD Deed Compliance - Sumter County

We recently spoke with a man who told us that his family specifically moved to the area so they could enroll their children in The Villages Charter School system. I understand it is an EXCELLENT school. Both he and his wife are employees of The Villages.

Hate to disagree with you. Have you been in either square lately (especially between 5pm-9pm)?? Way too many teens "hanging" around and you just know they don 't have good intentions in mind.

Wow, how do you know what their intentions are?

Another name for stereotyping is bias barf

I wonder if it's to long ago that you were a teenager.

"hanging around"
The squares are public places, duh. Maybe we could hire a security force and have them patrol and check ID's and keep out all those under age (?) and those with bad intentions.
Please get real!

Some move here because they didn't want to deal with children anymore. Of course played golf lately? Sometime those over 60 can act like children. As long as kids are well behaved let them enjoy a place where they might feel safe.

In my opinion, your suggestion has real merit.

I think most kids keep us young, active and informed! And if you give them a chance and get to know them, they may offer help when the occasion arises. There is good and bad in all ages, and with our guidance and knowledge, the majority of kids turn out just fine! I bet the same may have been said about our (your) generation. Relax, and enjoy your time at TV!

Also Parkwoods on CR 101 is a family community.
