A Little too short of an answer but I also agree. We researched many locations around the country. We researched many active adult communities.
There are many nice active adult communities but...

The key here is size and organization. TV is the largest in the world of its type. The largest golf cart community in the world. You can play golf, if you wish, all year and never play the same course more than twice. (No extra charge) All of the "active adult" communities that came up when I Googled were very small in comparison. Most have a golf course or two. TV has, what, about 30? Most have a (One) recreation center. TV has local centers with pools. Regional centers. so many that I don't know them all.

TV is twice the size of the "City" that I moved from. There is so much to pick from that you can be busy every day or you can choose to do very little.

In short, you cannot compare anything to The Villages. It is unique. Not everyone will want to live here but they will not live at the competition because there is none.

Don't take my word for it, Google it.

Good luck
