There are so many choices here you don't have to settle on one that isn't to your liking. So, if you find what you think is your dream house and discover it is located near an annoyance, move on to another area. There are lots of dream houses in The Villages.
So, what are annoyances? Beauty is in the eyes of the beholder but here are some that might be considered (Some already mentioned).
Train noise.
Traffic noise.
Sewage treatment plant odors.
Golf course maintenance equipment. (Might be music to some ears).
Barking dogs.
Traffic in general. (Busy through street versus cul de sac.)
Is it within golf ball range? (Broken windows, etc.)
Closeness to back door neighbor.
Proximity to pickle ball courts. (Not a big issue but up close those balls popping of the paddles could be annoying. But, music to some ears.)
Downwind from a restaurant. (This would affect very few homes).
Friendliness of neighbors. This depends on you. If you are a friendly neighbor you can count on a friendly neighborhood here. Friendly is what we do best.
Best Village? There's no such thing. They are all best.
I think it a real plus to live in a trailer while looking for your home here.
