Is it just OLD folks that complain incessantly, or do young folks complain about other folks property too?

To the OP, don't ask folks that will just give you their opinion. Reed the deed restrictions or as the Villages officials that are supposed to know the answers. If it was up to me, I don't care what a neighbor does to their yard, as long as his/her/it's weeds don't migrate to my lawn and garden. I might be annoyed IF/IF they are loud for too long, AFTER dark or before sunup and I am annoyed if they allow their dogs use my lawn for a toilet(even though I love animals more than people). Everyone has their own quirks and IMO others should be tolerant within reason. Problem with "within reason" is qualifying what it means to different folks. But, IMO life is getting shorter and shorter and folks should use their time left smartly, so as to enjoy it. Never did enjoy the military style housing and moved off base whenever possible. But, I didn't have to pay for gov housing so I lived by their standards.
Just be careful not to display a small white cross on your property, because there seems to be a lot of vampires residing in the Villages that get very angry. It keeps them from passing by your home without causing them a great deal of anguish.
