[quote=Anonymous]I am 65. My friend moved to a gated enclosed over 55 in Florida. Houses are beautiful.  Everyone is older, ftom  7 to15 years older. There is a generational gap for me and it seems  a little odd to me to start grouping older people  together even though  there are a million of these communities  and  are popular! 
Yes, younger families in our neighborhood socialize  with each other, but we do see them  and have community feel. There's a lot of over 55s for whatever reason  in our area, and they definitely are not moving even though right now would be the time to do it. It seems to be true that we,  generally. are meant  to be engineered toward  older  people  and to leave millennials alone and it makes  be a bit sad.

Here's one down side-  all these houses  will have a very restricted market when you or your estate wants to sell down the road.  There are too many  to have a healthy  turnover opportunity later and new developments are being built all the time.

If I ever do this, and I'm  definitely not ready now, it will be a development within a larger community of everything,  pethaps in the area I already live. Living in a 150 ish home in a  gated isolated community  with not  much else around would be awful. Very depressing.  Secondly,  it's  a closed group, with only so many social network opportunities.  I can see it getting a little toxic with cliques.  Like high school. [/quote]
