Even my Real estate salesman said he has that request all the time. The newer younger want with their own age. I don't think this is a big secret. Come on.

Yes. I live close to Spanish Springs. I live in Country Club Hills.

I'm sure there is probably a dozen or two your your age up there.

I rented in Mira Mesa this past June (close to Spanish Springs) -- loved that location and the house. I'm a relative youngster by TV standards. I would buy close to Spanish Springs in a heart beat. I would also buy close to LSL in a heart beat. My #1 priority would be an affordable, well maintained home regardless of what village it is located in or the age of my neighbors. Just my 2 cents.

I hope you find your happiness here because you are a dear good person.

Diagram that sentence, someone......

:agree: but I am not a younster. I get along with people of any age so it's not an issue for me.

I figure halfway to SS and LSL for me. By car to Brownwood, as it is too far by cart.

As we age we all have our own narrow minded view of those older than us or those who act older than us.

A lift from a post above "... a relative youngster by TV standards...." begs the question.....and just what might those standards of OLD be here in TV?????

Too bad some will miss out on some very nice places to live in TV because of the need for the "younger" specification.

As far as the newer built areas having "younger" residents......Yup those of us who retired sometime yester year are in deed older than those retiring now. And that would mean the folks looking to buy/build in TV currently must be "younger" than those of us who already live here....duh.

And I now wonder what those who are "older" than those of us already here and looking to buy/build in TV ask? Do you think they want to know where the "older" folks live.

I know the horse is beaten and dead. But there are those of us who are old and know it and don't know it and it doesn't matter because of who we are and how we act. Then there are those, apparently, who are old and may feel a need to separate themselves from the "old" because they are and are just fighting/denying the fact they too are well ......"old".

All find out soon enough that age is nothing more than a number on a piece of paper that allows laws/rules to govern (or not) by. Eventually as one becomes a resident of TV one soon discovers "age" is indistinguishable.....a relative concept that has absolutely no impact on the behavior, attitude, capability or demeanor of an individual.

I am in my 70's and I still complain about the old farts who are in my way or going to slow!!!!!!!!!!!!!!:jester::a20:

We are in our 60's and have lived in 3 neighborhoods....and they are a mixture of ages......

[QUOTE=dlloltv;564968]We will be buying a home in The Villages in January. We've rented in several different villages about 8 times since 2007 and we realize that one of the most appealing things about The Villages is getting together with neighbors. It is important to us to have at least some neighbors who are somewhat close to our age. Would those of you who live now and/or will soon live in the villages of Duval, Hemingway, Hadley, St. Charles, Sanibel, Fernindina,Gilchrist etc. share which village you live in and what your age is?[/QUOTe


So if you can share your age I can share what information I know of...

Asked and Answered. See Post 12 on this thread. (We're 68 and 72 )

bkcunningham1 10-10-2012 10:28 AM

The question begs to be asked. Are you a young 68 and 72 or an old 68 and 72?
