Yep. Everyone needs to remember that this is a forum for discussion, not for getting important information.

What you said is factually true, however I think the fact that people will remember from your post is that 19 year olds (and over) are not allowed to live by themselves in TV, and that they have to have an over 55 person living with them. It's a moot point, because not a lot of 19 year olds have the resources or the jobs to live in TV. Unless, of course, they are living with their parents.

Under 19's are not supposed to live here full time with or without someone that is 55 or older. Now if you happen to be 55 and have a spouse that is under 19, that might be a different matter. But I've lived here over a year and neither my wife or I are 55 yet (I'll be there soon). We are among the allowable 20% as has been discussed here already. A community need only meet the 80% side of the rule to be able to call itself a 55+ community and The Villages exceeds that 80% by a significant margin. So there are really 2 questions here - is The Villages still considered a 55+ Community? - YES - does someone living in the home have to be 55+ - NO. You can have it both ways and residents here clearly do.

A school bus even picks up outside the gates of Historical. I am in no way implying that residents should complain. There was a fellow mentioned in the Online Newspaper involved in a long dispute with his daughter. He ended up with custody of his grandson. I don't know how many, but there are kids under 19 living in TV, and not just in Historical.

Another view; we in TV would like to have great professionals, such as, doctors, dentists, nurses etc close by. They and their families need an inviting and accommodating area to live in. It would make up only a small percentage of the residents.

That's what the 20% "Family" villages areas were designed for. To house those families of people who work in/for the Villages, who would otherwise not qualify due to having minor children, or no one being over 55 (for example). That was part of the sales pitch we got years ago when we first started looking.

My husband and I, 52 and 51, respectively, bought a pre-owned home in 2014. In 2015 we purchased a new home and had no issues closings with either. The 80 20 rule allows those below the age requirement to purchase.

Our first home sold to 21 and 26 yo. Paid cash. Parents live in TV, so we were guessing needed to be near them

They can't use our amenities, but they are close to The Villages. And their children can attend The Villages Charter School.

Spring Arbor and Buffalo Ridge are family villages - children welcome - not officially part of The Villages Retirement Community, but within the boundries.

So..the question one may ask is.....Does The Villages plan on building any more Family friendly communities? They are rapidly expanding WELL south of the contiguous portion of The Villages, and own property miles south, currently down to Center Hill and Okahumpka.
I see other developers building non-55 developments in the general area and the homes are going up fast and selling well. The Villages is a one of a kind amazing place, but it does need an under 55 population to service it's many needs. Frank
