How young were you when you moved to TV ? My wife and I ( both 56 ) are moving there asap and we are just curious as to the average age people move there. Some friends of ours just moved there and they are in their early 70s and they feel like they are teenagers again. They are having a blast !! Guess TV does that to you !

My husband and I are moving to TV full-time next June and we will be 55 then.

Tal loves setting up surveys. This looks like a good opportunity for another one!

[In awe of TV]

I'm 53 and just counting the days until I get to TV.

Being a single person, it will take more time to plan the move and find a job - but oh yeah, I'm ready and I'll get there, hopefully sooner than later.

We were 66 & 64. We both agree that living in TV has taken 10 years off our chronological age. I think that it stems from being 10 times more active than we were in Connecticut.

My wife and I are 58 and 56. Do you feel that the new areas draw younger? i guess that may not be a fair questioin ----- WHO WANTS TO LEAVE. If you want to buy there are places available in all areas of the Villages. Come on down. AGE HAS NO BARRIERS HERE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I moved here in June '08, 49 yrs old, will be 50 in June. My partner is older than me. I was thinking of dyeing my hair grey/white to blend in better, but decided against it when I found out alot of people dye their hair to natural color!! We live in Villas of Spanish springs, and average age in our section is about 60. Age sure doesn't seem to mean anything here. Have met people 30 years older than I with way more energy!!! People in The Villages don't die of old age, they die of exhaustion!!!

Age is a relative thing, you are as old as you feel. It is almost a guarantee that you will feel a whole lot younger and be more active at TV than anywhere else. Forget the numbers and enjoy life in TV, you will never regret it.

I do believe that the new areas draw younger..for the most part. There are people on our block from mid fifties to 70ish and our houses are six months old. Mostly younger on the spectrum though.

How about your block..chime in.

I don't know how to break this to you gently, but I think you will be sorry if you wait.

We retired first in Calif. for eight years and were 72 and 73 when we moved to the Villages. Live in the new area and not a problem with the age as long as you are active in meeting people. We belong to several clubs, golf, bocce, pickleball, etc. Our kids (5) have a hard time keeping up with us. Just returned from CALIF. where hubby hit the slopes in Tahoe with daughter. He is 76 now so guess it must be the Village water. I really wanted to join but have a knee replacemant. Health issues will slow you down but you can still get out and enjoy the sun, groups, entertainment, etc. without a problem. Always try to have a positive mental attitude and you will never feel left out.

demographics will show the same cross section of ages bought in the so called historic distric as well as the area North of 466. Too many people on the "new" side seem to forget that once upon a time each Village was NEW!!!

There is no doubt, TV compared to mant other retirement communities does in fact make most feel younger as TV provides so mant venues for people to be active.

No matter where you live...there is no secret that activity is the fountain of youth....folloed very closely by attitude.\\You are only old when you think you are old.
