It is a 55+ community - retirement or semi-retirement - and everything is geared for that age group. Somewhere on the other thread about the Villages, someone said they do have family areas. Go to the link I gave on the other thread and read about it. I'm sorry I just don't know if there are family subdivisions within the development.
And, yes, there are schools nearby. Maybe you don't want to limit yourself to The Villages. Look at other areas of Lady Lake, Summerfield, etc. If you get a map of Florida, look at other nearby areas in which you may be interested.
