There's a trailer park near my dad that is basically for older people. Families with children under 18 are not permitted to live there.

If you apply it across the board, I don't think it's illegal. It would be illegal if you applied it to a certain gender or race or sexual preference.

I think it is legal because age discrimination only applies to older people and not to the young. My grandmother lives in an apartment complex for 55+, no kids allowed.

But it seems like that kind of housing discrimination is covered under federal law (Title VIII, Civil Rights Act 1968), as least as I'm reading it.

Also keep in mind these are prolly privately owned communities. Private vs public companies have different rules. That's why private colleges can be all male or all female vs public colleges which have to accept both genders.

Based on the law class I took last year if no public money is taken schools and companies have greater leway in what is legal.
