Every village has it's good and it's bad points. If you want peaceful natural surroundings and lots of amenities, even some that are not available in other areas go south of 44 if you want shopping and championship golf go north of 44. As far as noise, parts of every village have noise you just have to be selective, if you find a home you like come back in the evening and walk around the neighborhood listening for sounds of traffic, etc. We live in Fenney which is very quiet, there are always a couple dozen re-sales here which is equal to 2% of the homes built in Fenney, that is an average number of homes to be on the market. We also own a rental unit in Monarch Grove, we chose a villa on the west side of The Grove which is not near the turnpike and it's quiet over there. A lot of people don't mind traffic noise and if it doesn't bother you there are great deals on new homes that are close to the turnpike. Keep in mind that the further east they build will put you in Leesburg and Lake County which might be good or bad, don't know the particulars yet regarding taxes (different school system) and utility fees. Wherever you choose you will be happy living in The Villages.
