I plan on staying that way mentally forever :boom:

Yes, there happens to be 3 COMMUNITIES near THE VILLAGES built by the developer. But they are located OUTSIDE of THE VILLAGES property.

Anyone can purchase these homes. (or possibly rent there)

There are no restrictions as to age or requirements of employment with The Villages.

However, children who live in these communities must have a parent employed by The Villages or employed by the various commercial properties located within The Villages in order to attend the Charter School.

These communities do not share any amenities provided within The Villages.
Some of these communities may have a pool or meeting room.

:posting: Exactly. There are some grandparents who took in their grandkids (for various reasons) and they moved to the so called "any age" communities so they could care for the kids. I personally don't care for the Charter School concept that keeps these kids from attending the Charter Schools but that is a subject for another thread.

I was trying to clarify that the family areas are NOT part of The Villages. If you buy in The Villages you MUST pay the amentity fee.

According to the rules a certain percentage can be under 55 but I do like to point out that those of us who are over 55 living here have a perfect right to do so.;)

It seems to me that the 20% that are under 55 also have a perfect right to be here.

I can't comment on a 28 year old inheriting a home but it poses an interesting question. It's a very unlikely scenario, but what if 20% of the residents who willed their homes to people under 55 died. It could push the number of under 55 over the 20% limit.

As far as being 44 and 48, there is no problem as long as The Villages approves it and they stay under the 20% cap.

Of course owning a home here does not mean that you are a resident. For example, you could own the home and rent it to people who are over 55. Or, you could remain a resident of another state and use your Villages home as a vacation home.

Another possible scenario is that one spouse is over 55 and the other is under 55. They have two over 18 yo children from a previous marriage living with them. The spouse who is over 55 passes away. Do the souse and children have to move out even though they own the home?

Did you see the wink, Dr?

I didn't see yours.
