In terms of numbers, which affects traffic and being able to get into restaurants and book tee times, The Villages is very different from winter to summer.

If you are going to start with just being a snowbird then you would be better off visiting at that time of year (avoid major holidays, though).

Once retired you can extend your stay at each end - the longer you are here, the more you get used to the summer heat and humidity.
