I had a roommate in college who was at a different life stage than me (24 when I was 18) and our schedules and ideas on responsibility clashed badly enough that while I'm friends with people of other ages, I would be very hesitant to live with someone who was of a very different age. I don't expect all 24 year olds to have different habits than 34 year olds, but I would be worried that a roommate who was ten years older would look down on some of my "less mature" habits.
