Is it an advertising slogan? Certainly. Are there some depressed, angry or otherwise unpleasant people here? Absolutely. However, given those realities, we have found the vast majority of Villagers to be friendly and helpful. We enjoy our neighbors (but understand you might get unlucky in this regard). We love interacting with our dance instructors and other dancers. 99% of the people I have played pickleball with have been terrific (but, in truth, I have found that to be the case with pickleball players almost everywhere). We assume this is how many of us make friends - through their activities like golf, quilting, miniatures, gardening, bowling, flying, biking, line dancing, zumba, yoga, oldies, cars, food, etc. We have more friends here in TV after just over 4 years than we had at our last home that were in for 32 years. The Villages, for us, has proven to be a great home town.
