I see this place as a privilege, not a right. It was designed for the over 55 retired person and that is what drew us here.
We knew the rules about underage children living here and we tried to famiarlize ourselves with other rules and deed restrictions before we opted to buy. If I wanted to move to Orlando I could have done that. There are any number of communities throughout this country that are for all ages and have no restrictions.. This is a wonderful place that has many opportunities for MOST senior people to move here. All of the amenities are the same for all if you paid 65K for your home or a million and a half.

That's like I said, easy fix. We just got an in-area guest pass and that took care of the issue. Rules are rules! Same as with Gkids that live nearby, I get to see them once a week all year around AND they get to use the amenities with us. Pretty sweet deal!

I have been truly enlightened by the comments. And Senior Citizen, I am, in fact, at this time raising my 7 year old granddaughter and I thank God everyday that I physically and mentally able to do that. Grandchildren are a bless.

For all practical reasons, I really don't think anyone has to worry about any grandchildren overstaying their welcome. I'll say it again, children are a blessing to all who know them...... To even think that their mere presence is not welcome....is a turn off. Our 7 month old grandbaby even got her first hole in one on the Nancy Lopez golf course......where our rental home was.......and not one neighbor came out and complained that she was "sitting" near the "hole" and flag...........everyone was very nice. All of our grandchildren are well behaved and highly intelligent. Adults in their own communities love to have them around. I don't see a problem at all. For those who have to have their older college kids live with them, during the summer school vacations..........I don't see that as an issue either. Now, if they are the rowdy partying type, that's another story.....altogether. We've always opened our homes to college friends and still do........now they come with their spouses and babies plus school aged children. Kids keep you young at heart. All of our friends have a slew of grandchildren and I've never seen negative responses to the presence of children.........they are all adorable. Plus, the older ones are very helpful.

I was responding to those who seem to think that grandchildren would be a nuisance in The Villages.........while visiting their grandparents for the 30 days. I don't believe it would be thirty days straight. How would you manage to live in The Villages with your 7 year old grandaughter? One of the family friendly villages near the charter school? Good luck and God Bless. p.s. Not knowing your age.......many younger grandparents are quite able to "keep up" with the grandkids. It all depends on your age of course, as far as raising them. I was referring to our particular age......pushing 70. |

But..like many other people who like children, I am enjoying living in an age restricted community. It is very nice and very peaceful and not worrisome and so beautifully quiet during concerts at Church on the square..

if one grandchild comes in january that child can stay for 30 consecutive days..if another comes february 1 that child can stay for 30 consecutive days and so on....your real and only problem would be a neighbor telling on you...
