I heard it was 67 but I have no facts to base that on, just overheard it some time ago.

Don't base your location on a bond, it cost $3 a day.

At your age you will find younger people in the new areas south of 466-a.

There is a different camaraderie here sharing things, so much more in common with your neighbors.

U would be dealing with generational differences, been there seen it first hand.

Bob. If you see it first hand you are hanging around with the wrong group.

When you move here you will find a bunch of people who all have a 16 year old hidden inside of them. If you recognise that 16 year old, you are in for a joyful ride. You will find a group of people with at LEAST five decades of life experiences who have worked for a long time, experienced sadness and disappointment, frustration and pain and have had a lot of successes and wonderful moments. Seniors are thought to be a little wiser and a little more compassionate for good reason.

We do NOT need to encourage age bias in this place. It is a silly and hurtful concept.

Default Welcome

Average age:"Too old to work, Too young to die". It does not matter, you will be welcomed where ever you chose.

The average ae is "young at heart" and that is all that really matters.

I think you will find people of all ages in every neighborhood.....I don't think it's necessarily true that you need to buy a new house to be near 'younger' people. We had many people near our age in our villa neighborhood in Summerhill.....and I would buy in the "historical" section if I found a house there I loved......you can make friends everywhere.

It makes me cringe when I hear people mention "age" in TV. It is so not a matter of concern to almost any of us here. It was the very last thing on my mind when we looked for a house, the home itself was the most important thing, certainly not the age of the neighborhood. After all you can get some really "young" people living here who are definitely old beyond their years.

The only time "age" even comes into my mind is when I see an older man with a trophy wife, then I might sit up and take notice - and the other half certainly does, and I remind him he cannot afford a trophy wife unless he wants to move to a tar paper shack!

yeah, I'm younger and moving to Gilchrist! I started out looking for the least expensive way to get here then heard that most people buy more than 2 places before they get what they really want. So I'm building south of 466a and look forward to living happily ever after.

Pearls of wisdom.

We are in the earlier part of our 50's and have found that it's easy to be included. Actually sometimes too easy to be included and have had to re-learn how to say no. We have not found anyone that holds our age against us. Everyone here is young at heart and I don't know where all of the energy comes from!

"Age" is a number - a chronological measurement of time. To me, what matters most is each person's state of mind about things.

I can only speak as someone who has moved into a new developing village where everyone is new to the village and actively searching for a new social network. It is great! I can't wait to get everything organized so I can get knee deep in all the activities offered in TV. I find "New Villagers" come in all ages from all parts and it's so interesting getting to know them. I'm sure the villagers that have been here awhile are as well, I just haven't had the pleasure of meeting any of them yet. I don't know that if I had moved into a village that had been established for awhile if I would be experiencing the same camaraderie as we are all learning the ropes together. Of course there's something said for moving into a village where most folks have been there for while and already know the ropes. I think which ever way you go you'll just be happy to get here!
