Can Grandchildren Live in The Villages?

It’s one of the most common questions I hear—“Can my grandkids live with me in The Villages?” The Villages is a 55+ active-adult community, designed for residents who are at least 55 years old. Florida law allows people under 55 to live there, but no one under 19 can live in the home full-time.

That means your grandchildren are always welcome to visit, play, and stay for vacations—but not to live there permanently. For families with children, there are beautiful neighboring communities and family-friendly villages nearby that offer the same Villages lifestyle—just without the 55+ restriction.

So bring the grandkids for holidays, summer breaks, and golf cart rides—but when school starts, they’ll need to head home. ❤️
