Can I buy in the village under 55? Rules & exemptions explained

According to the Housing for Older Persons Act (HOPA), up to 20% of occupied homes in an age-restricted community can have residents under the age of 55. This means that while communities like The Villages are primarily for older adults, it may be possible for a buyer to get into the village under 55, provided they meet specific criteria and the community's policies allow it.
