In the neighborhood descriptions are adjectives 'quite', 'relaxing', and 'tranquil'.

I'm not sure what those terms mean in the context of certain neighborhoods in The Villages. Do they mean that the neighborhoods are away from busy roads and freeways? Does it mean that there aren't any (or many) pickleball courts? That there aren't live, outdoor music venues in those neighborhood?

I hope I am not inadvertently 'stepping onto a controversy landmine' by asking these questions....

By the way, I am not asking whether you agree with the review that I referenced, above. I am only trying to understand the reviewer's terminology.

Thanks in advance for educating me about these terms.
The reasons you stated is what quiet and tranquil mean in the villages. But, homes are very close to one another. You can have noisy neighbors or barking dogs. Drive through a neighborhood several times before buying.

Homes on golf courses can be noisy. You can hear the conversations of those playing and they can hear yours. Grass on the courses gets mowed at 5:30 a.m. Will wake you from your tranquil sleep.
