First off thank you for this wonderful forum full of great information.
My wife and I started looking for homes in the Villages this year for my in laws. Our plan to purchase for them and let them retire and enjoy the life that this area offers. In our two lifestyle visits to the area, we have really enjoyed it.
What we have come to realize is that we might be the people that like it a bit more than them. We play golf, like golf carts, enjoy dining out and work from home as we are both self employed. I am just south of 50 years old and my wife is a bit younger than that.
The question I have is, while I know the laws allow a small percentage of under of the age of 55 people to buy and live, what about the lifestyle? Would we feel out of place or looked at differently for being younger? Could we be involved in clubs or activities?
Not sure it is something we would consider with the inflated costs currently, but something we have been discussing and wanted to get residents thoughts on the matter.

that was my first thought too, when I was looking to move here. I was 60 yrs at that time. The answer is no, you will not feel out of place. The average age from what I've seen is 65. More people are retiring out at 55 and moving here. Most people that move here no matter what age, are extremely active life style people. Not your average. 3,000 activities to choose, all different active levels. We do have people under 55 and they generate to their groups. I would suggest to do a life style visit, or rent for a couple of months (if you can) get the feel of the place for comfort. .. A little note: when I first came here, went out side early to pick up my paper.... wth..... zooom 3 people flew by me on their bikes, geeez don't they have coffee first...?? then I looked up again... zoooommmm roller blading right by me... wth???, then later on... zoooommmm joggers..... wth???? its only 7:oo am... as I said very active , baseball teams, fishing, water skiing, scuba diving... the question you should ask yourself... can YOU keep up with them no matter what age, this will keep you young.... enjoy the adventure.... Disney is 1.5 hrs away and cruising ports....
