[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP here.

Here’s an idea. When someone asks a question, you can answer it or be helpful. The person asking the question might learn something.

Name calling isn’t helpful.

Here’s what I’m asking:
Why do 70 year olds buy into neighborhoods with 4000 sq feet houses, large 2 acre lots. 
It’s not a TYPICAL retiree area…I lived in Williamsburg for a long time and it was highly desirable for retirees.

Do I mean that all 70 year olds want the same thing? Surely not!

I would think (and many of you are proving me wrong) that if your kids are grown, you’d want less house, less yard.

If you’re a retiree purchasing a large home in a neighborhood with young families, explain why to me so I can learn.[/quote]

Because contrary to some posts on here, not all retirees have any desire to be in dense walkable areas with shared walls.  They can afford to outsource yard care and house cleaning if they like. They prefer to have privacy and love hosting their family and friends and enjoy their beautiful homes in nice neighborhoods.

The ageism is out of control. Now nice neighborhoods are only for young families? Some days I swear it feels like DCUM thinks the entire region is only supposed to be for young people raising families. That is only one phase of life and in the long run it is a short phase. [/quote]
