2nd rudest response on this thread. Fortunately 1st was removed. I hope yours is, as well.

There is a house for sale on my block. I’ll start my honey do list today, lol.

Obviously there are a lot of jealous older people on here that don't think you should live in TV. They're afraid they'll lose their wives or girlfriends to a young man. LOL.
There are lots and lots of young people that come to our squares to dance and listen to the music. If you can pay for a house here, The Villages sales agents will not turn you down no matter how old or young you are. Cash talks.

:welcome: to The Villages

:clap2::coolsmiley::bigbow:

A lot of people can't understand the difference between the question "how will I be received", and "what is your opinion of how I should live my life".
OP never asked the latter, only the former. Why do so many people feel entitled to subject others to their own opinions of how others should live?

Hammer, meet nail. :bigbow:

Interesting
 

Good for it! It’s an investment. Nice to have some youth around.

"Occupied -vs- Owned"
 

55 & Older Housing The term ‘familial status’ generally refers to occupancy by children (person under 18) with parent, guardian or designee of the parent.
The Housing for Older Persons Act (HOPA) is an exception that allows communities to operate as “55 or over” housing.
At least 80% of the units must be occupied by at least one resident over the age of 55;

Thanks for quoting a verifiable source.
Apparently 'occupied' is regulated, but 'ownership' is not.
Does that mean that anyone, regardless of age, can buy/own a home in The Villages?
Does the '80/20' count include renters (occupants)?
Does The Villages record the ages of ALL 'occupants?
If not, who knows"
With underage buyers and tenants, is the 80/20 ratio being maintained?
Does it matter?

If he posses all of the attributes you profess I would have no problem. It is the 40 something deadbeat children that I object to

Younger Villagers moving in
 

I do not think the villages is the place for. You are way too young to be living around all of these elderly people. Checkout areas to the South. Orlando and beyond. Nice suburbs around Orlando or areas near the beach where people your age live.

The "young" thread-starting gentleman may (?) be the most wonderful, polite person in the Americas, for all I or we know. But, the converse is also true - he could be the most DISPICKABLE person in America, for all I or we know. He might (?) be a drug dealer and gang leader looking to start a NEW territory to exploit because of the increased wealth factor of our OLDER community. He could be a "sleeper agent" tied to Russia or China put here to influence cultural acceptance of either of those 2 countries.
.......Yes, it is VERY unlikely that this ONE person is, for example, a drug dealer. I and we can NOT say that he ISN'T. But, "riddle me this" BAT-VILLAGERS........what if statistically 60 to 100 of these "NICE" 25 year-olds moves here. THEN, it is LIKELY that one IS a drug dealer or has some other bad habit. Yes, you might say that, "the samething APPLIES to any group of 55-year-olds. But, no it is NOT the same. For example, a 25 year-old drug dealer or gang member may have been identified as such and put into prison and the FBI would be watching them closely because of their record and why are they keen to be in an OLDER community. By age 55 many criminals may have moderated their behavior and noticed that drug members have a short life-span. Prison may have changed them for the better. To be continued.....

"Don't trust anyone under 35."

That is a very degrading question. There are plenty of 24 yr olds that have great jobs and money saved. Clearly you didn’t raise your kids to be like that but that doesn’t mean others haven’t. I have a 26 year old that just bought her second home on the beach up north. She bought her first home at 24 making over 200k a year. What do you know!

best answer yet!

One other tiny example - many drug USERS die an early death - they do not make it to age 55! Another example, driving habits, like speeding and reckless driving. There are several reasons why automobile INSURANCE is LOWER for age 55+ than age 25.......they are MORE reckless and statistics prove that. So, that will come to TV Land or any other plus 55 community. And LOOK at the roads here in TV Land They are narrow and single-laned in many cases, with a relatively LOW SPEED LIMIT ( which is only lightly enforced). So, you will have older couples and groups out walking THEIR neighborhoods streets - probably 2 or even 3 beside each other in the middle of a narrow lane - and along comes a 25-year-old drunk and high on whatever driving 15 MPH or more OVER the speed limit! Then around a corner, they come with their music at max volume and NOT paying attention to the road. And suddenly you or your relative or friend are VERY DEAD! NOW.......NOW "riddle me this" bat-Villager...... was it worth dying from a 25-year-old's reckless driving in exchange for them helping you with your I-phone?

I'm addressing my own quote.

If you have the money for a home, you most likely can afford an apartment in NYC.

The reason I suggest Manhattan is that the city is not for the very young or the very old. It's like Goldy Locks and the 3 bears your just about the right age and you'll be good until your 40, at which time you should look for a place down here.

You have to absorb all live has to offer, as far as I know we only get one turn at the wheel, and you can spin your wheels at any speed you want in that city and no one there will pass judgement.
