I live in Deluna and are a lot of great sections with no road or turnpike noise, but definitely do your due diligence. The proximity to the turnpike and 301 as well as the direction your lanai faces all have an impact. That being said, we did stay in a rental in a more northern neighborhood and the road noise from the main Villages arteries (Morse, Meggison) were a factor as well.

The best advice I can give is to not buy a home that backs to any non-Villages property. What today may be a farm or just an open field could be a development or a 7-11 tomorrow.

Due your due diligence on kissing lanais as well. In my little section of Deluna there are three streets of homes with kissing lanais. One street is maybe 20 feet between lanais where the other is easily 60+ feet. There is no "standard" separation. You need to see in person or get someone without an agenda to send you realistic pictures.

The Marion vs Sumter county is a non-issue...and when talking about the Villages you also have to consider Lake county since TV spans all three. From a county tax perspective, Sumter is the cheapest but parts of TV are in the city of Wildwood so there is an additional tax. I personally wouldn't let taxes be a driving part of your consideration.

Feel free to DM me if you have specific questions about a home section, need pictures, etc. Deluna is one of the largest villages, so comments about turnpike noise, pylons (electric towers) are isolated to small sections of the village.
