There is no age restriction/discussion with resale homes. Sorta self polices as in how many "younger" and how much younger would be attracted to a senior focused environment?

The enforcement of the mix by percent (what ever it is supposed to be) is on a par with the enforcement of speeding and rolling through stop signs.

I know of communities which make no exceptions (except for caregivers and disabled adult children). Here is one such. Home | Laguna Woods Village
When I was looking at building lots, about a year and a half ago, I was told by my agent at TV sales that I can buy, because anyone over 18 can purchase, but I cannot live in the home. Reason, I would be the sole occupant and 54 years old. He said they had reached their 20% for under 55 occupancy limit. How would they enforce that? Would I be fined? I don’t think they can physically remove me from my home, or can they.

Yep, them agents always know what they are talking about. Kinda far fetched, if I was selling I would not make this statement.
Relax no one will be removing you from your home.

Sounds like an agent who couldn't find his ass with both hands.

There are lots of couples who have their share of arguments.

What rule requires all residents of The Villages to be over 55?
When I brought sales said one had to be 55 or older living in household has that rule changed? We all know resale's are open season and nearly impossible to track. after property brought impossible to track who living in the property as long as some one paying the bills. Who going to find out if I'm 19 plus and mommy buys me house, how do they know I'm living in it or not and with whom?

You can live here full time at 19.

How do "they" track it ? Easily by the birthdate associated with your villages ID.

No change in rules.........sounds like a mis-understanding.
