If your 55 and older please let me know.

Rant
The question I keep asking mysel if I where 55 or older living in Woodbury would I sell my house and buy a active adult home . I may if my kids lived here but then again with a new home my taxes would most likely increase so why move. What if my kids moved here would I relocate here to be close to them, maybe but why pay MW school taxes which are a Mortgage payment that would buy a nice home down south. Looking at the current make up of the town now:As of the census2 of 2000, there are 9,460 people, 3,117 households, and 2,546 families residing in the town. The population density is 101.0/km² (261.6/mi²). There are 3,358 housing units at an average density of 35.9/km² (92.9/mi²).
There are 3,117 households out of which 46.7% have children under the age of 18 living with them, 69.9% are married couples living together, 8.9% have a female householder with no husband present, and 18.3% are non-families. 15.0% of all households are made up of individuals and 4.8% have someone living alone who is 65 years of age or older. The average household size is 3.03 and the average family size is 3.39.In the town the population is spread out with 30.9% under the age of 18, 5.8% from 18 to 24, 31.4% from 25 to 44, 24.5% from 45 to 64, and 7.4% who are 65 years of age or older. The median age is 36 years
With only 7.4% of the town 65 and older would adding active adult homes fly? Please let me know your thoughts?
