Same phenom here in Sun City, Texas. Average age here is around 72. Boomers are just now beginning to populate retirement communities in larger numbers.

Warning to widowed, divorced female FReepers who are contemplating moving to a planned retirement community.
From personal experience - these communities are not grandkid friendly.
If you are a ‘club joiner’ you will have to schedule your activities around the clubs that take over the tennis courts, pools, golf courses, bocce courts.
Single retirees subsidize all the activities they don’t use for the couples who do. Wives are very suspicious of single women and guard their men - (as if;).
First thing I learned was: “Casserole Club” refers to any single woman who bakes food for an incoming, new single male resident.
Just sayin’
