There are several organized groups that ride from specific locations on a regular schedule. Dancer? There are several different communities of dance (ballroom, country, WCS, swing, line dance, freestyle, etc) and their dances are usually at specific rec centers on a regular rotation. Pickleball? Card players? Golfers? Parrotheads? etc, etc, etc. There's a LOT of activities, and many groups are focused at specific and multiple locations; some are weekly, some monthly. If you have preferences, look at the rec news (weekly publication, available online - there's a link to the current one at Recreation - The Villages Community Development Districts

We rented in 4 different parts of TV, and found the best concentration of the specific activities that we like was in the areas between 466 & 466A. We do go to events in the far north (Mulberry, etc) and south (Ezell and Everglades) and have explored a lot (aka joyriding in the golf cart), but actually living for several months at a time in different areas helped us assess and decide where we concentrated on when it came time to buy.
