During the next decade 12 million Americans will choose to live in age segregated communities where young families are unwelcome and at least one household member must be at least 55 years old. Some call these communities “leisureville”.
By 2015 (just seven years) 4 out of 10 Americans will be 50 years old or older.
It’s no wonder that hundreds of “active retirement communities” are breaking ground every year.
The Villages in Florida is on the leading edge. We’re the world’s largest retirement community.
We’re nearly twice the size on Manhattan. Our peak population will be 110,000.
To those of us who live in The Villages, these facts are not surprising.
After all, we have the best entertainment, dozens of great golf courses, over 100 miles of golf cart trails and two amazing “downtowns”.
