The apartments in the Villages have common areas and I suspect "get to know your neighbor" events . They also have their own pool and that would be a good way to meet neighbors. I live in a condo up north and when we moved it we met neighbors in the hallway. And they had a monthly get togethers in our common room. It did not take long to know them. As others have mentioned, find an activity your like and show up. I have found I was welcomed as a newcomer. I lead an activity (lawn bowls) during the season, and if anyone stops by to see what the heck we are doing I run over and give them a short description and invite them to play (we take beginners all the time). I suspect this is true of most activities. And there is a singles club in the Villages, and they arrange social gatherings for their members.
