I have a friend who had four children The three older ones (girls) married and moved out. The younger son was happy at home. My friend and his wife moved to a Sun City fairly close by, and their son moved with them. No matter how happy he was with mom and dad all his life, he didn't last three months. Who could blame him?

Vitality is not always "noisier" as in bothersome to others, or disturbing the peace. On the other hand, "retired" can translate to extremely "noisy" when retirees are drunk at bars in TV or when others are sitting beside a table of 20+ people yelling over each other. It also gets pretty "noisy" here when seniors b*tch about a hypothetical $2 increase to their amenities fee for something like safety striping the multimodal path curves and exits. "Noisy" in TV takes on many forms amongst "retirees"! Last edited by goodtimesintv; 11-06-2015 at 03:49 PM. |

I had thought there were age restrictions on the majority of neighborhoods in TV but that there were some that were fine with families with children. Maybe I misunderstood that and certainly didn't look into it too deeply as my wife and I don't have kids and are of the target age for TV.
I do recall having seen signs at some facilities like pools that restricted use from anybody under the age of 30-something (I don't recall exact details as I don't live in TV yet though my wife and I did buy a house this year to retire to as soon as we can manage it). I'm not sure what other facilities (rec centers, educational centers, etc.) have in terms of age-related restrictions, if any. It does seem like there is plenty of service work available in and around TV, from retail to restaurants to health care to whatever. A young person should be able to find some kind of work there. The OP mentioned their daughter being in her early 20s. If she has a college degree in something in particular, she may or may not find job opportunities in or around TV. I'm not sure what the social opportunities would be for a younger person as every restaurant, theater, store, bowling alley or whatever that we visited definitely seemed to be skewed towards and older consumer. That was just fine with us, but might not be so attractive to a younger person looking for folks their own age to hang with. I would suggest that the original post look into what age-related restrictions there may be (if any) for housing and/or facilities in TV, have the daughter look into what job opportunities there may be in the area and, ideally, bring her along on the lifestyle preview to see if can picture herself living in the bubble amongst a bunch of frogs. I can't wait to move there myself, but I'm not exactly in my early 20s anymore! |

I can't see any reason that she could not live with you in the villages. It is not a typical lifestyle for older people.

my son was in college and so "lived" here when not at school. He loved playing pickleball and got to know lots of people. they were very accepting. He had a Villager ID because this was his permanent residence and he could go every where I could except the adult pools. I don't resent younger people around...it's enjoyable to talk to them.

Is it just me or do people turn against each other very quickly over age-related and dog poop threads. Easy way to cause a stink or stir the pot.

She will love it here. People are very accepting of younger people. There is plenty to do and a lot of job opportunities.
And yes, anyone over the age of nineteen can be a full time permanent resident in The Villages.

some people do....luckily I still think the majority here are very accepting and just want to enjoy retirement and that other stuff isn't an issue

I think that a lot of people might be surprised how many younger people live here and how many younger people come into The Villages from the surrounding areas. There are three (I believe) Villages that allow children under the age of nineteen. These family villages were built primarily for employees of The Villages but are not restricted to them. Residents do not pay an amenity fee and are not able to access the amenities in The Villages. I also believe that these villages are not golf cart accessible.

I do too! Lately there have been some young adult grandchildren and people under 55 showing up at our pickle ball weds-fri group. What a lot of fun to play with them. Their energy is contagious.

I spent last weekend with my old family and my new family. I love making babies and little ones laugh. I miss that the most.
