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.

"An Honest Review About Living In the Villages Florida" Honest? They recommend to "Connect With The Villages Real Estate Experts". These are the "experts" who have sold homes to buyers that believed everything the realtor told them and then after the sale, found their home was out of compliance with the deed restrictions and it is costing them thousands to get their home back into compliance. They tried to sell me an overpriced dump that didn't even have any interior doors. If you ever hear the phrase "No problem" or "Nothing to worry about" run away. You should also ignore all the sappy videos on YouTube like "The Village Newcomers" and similar as these people have "drank the Kool-Aid" & gush about how wonderful everything is here in TV. TV has more than its share of drunks, adult criminals living with their parents, pedophiles, and more. You will never read about any of this in the local propaganda rag, "The Daily Sun" where nothing bad ever happens. The Villages is to a trailer park like Target is to Walmart; same crap, just more expensive. So why am I here? My wife loves it so I caved. Otherwise I'd have a nice beach home on one of Florida's lakes or on the Gulf coast (anywhere but here).
