I agree with Goldwingnut, every single neighborhood in TV seems to swell with population in the winter and thins in the summer. I do not think there is one neighborhood that could be described as "dead and lonely" so free your mind of that concern. As you join various activities, you will be so busy out and about that you will not even be concerned who is next door. Personally I live in a CYV and love the quiet of my backyard in the summer and the extra choices of where to sit at the neighborhood pool in July and August.
Some things I considered in choosing my CYV and its location: no carpet and updated flooring inside, no grass to mow outside (many CYV still have small lawns to mow), Block and stucco over siding , proximity to the square(s) I like the best, updated roof and bathrooms (I don't want to renovate, you may be willing to), and integrity of the major systems (A/C, electric, etc.) I did look for 2 years before buying and the one I bought was screaming at me "I'm the one, I'm the one" I knew it as soon as I walked into the door. Be sure to check 3 places: MLS listings, Listings with the Realty Exec. in the Villages and FSBO. Know that there is not one convenient place for all listings!
