IMHO the traffic issue in The Villages is monumentally overstated by some. Compare the traffic here with any large metro area in the country and it is laughable. We have spent the past 10 winters in TV and find the traffic very manageable and stress free. Also, IMO many overstate the ability to get into restaurants in high season. A wait time of 15 to 30 minutes is about the upper range that we experience in the busiest meal times. Further, I play a lot of executive course golf and almost always get a tee time in my favored time frame on a favored course. Do not let fear of overcrowding or "snowbird mania" cause you to make a bad decision. The Villages may or may not be the best place for you to settle, but make your decision based on facts, not fantasy.
