Florida’s The Villages has been the fastest-growing US town for years due to an ever-expanding increase of retiree residents, who are attracted to the area by an abundance of golf courses, restaurants and activities geared to the over-55 crowd. And even though residents must be at least age 19 to live there, along with a household member who is at least age 55, the Villages’ metro area is the fastest-growing metro area for young children in the United States. These are the children of parents who work in The Villages but have to live outside of the city limits.
