We are looking at both for different reasons.....but would prefer more year round residents vs. seasonal residents. Thanks in advance for any feedback.
We live in a Courtyard Villa, and do have a lot of neighbors who are rentals. Really don't see the difference between living with people who are renters and those who own. Maybe we have just been lucky..our street is very quiet and very friendly.

If you are like where we were from, where your neighbors become your best friends, and are you concerned about that, well don't be. We have great neighbors and enjoy occasional driveway parties, but most of my friends are people I have met at clubs and events. They live all over TV.

We love our Courtyard...we have walls around us and don't have to deal with kissing lanais and noise. The walls are very good at keeping the noise down and offering privacy. We looked Designers and did not care that the people behind us are almost on top of us, and I know people who have to deal with neighbors who LIVE on their lanai, watching loud television for all hours and talking loudly on the phone, etc. That would bother me more than living with rentals. So I would look closely around your surroundings if you go with a designer.

Good luck and welcome! We love the Villages! People are much nicer in person than on social media.
