Retiring,

This is a very open ended question, depending on what you are looking for. Do you want to be close to a town Square? Do you want an established area? Do you want to be centrally located? There many things to consider, so you may want to restate your question within a framework of specific questions.
We oved into a new house, new village, far from the established town squares, but near Brownwood, and find the location ideal, but we do not mind jumping in the car and driving 10 miles or more to a location for shopping or entertainment. If you want to get to everything by golf cart, this should be stated.
You will probably get much higher quality answers if you can qualify what areas you are specifically interested in.

With regards to individual villages, I am sure you will get replies that all of the villages are great, with the only major differences being the age of the various areas.

Hopes this helps.
