There is a little truth in the comment about buying a new home in a new neighborhood. In a new neighborhood, most people don't know anyone or only a few people in TV. So they tend to look to their new neighbors to set up groups to golf, bowl, etc. When you move into an established neighborhood, a lot of these groups are well established and there may be the feeling of being an intruder.
Having said that. I think that it really doesn't matter whether you buy in a new or older village. In our village, we have had people move out and new people move in. Since we have a neighborhood social club that meets monthly, new residents are invited to the meetings and introduced, so they feel welcome and can get involved in various activities within the village. I still remember renting a home for a week before I bought here, and before I could get my rental car unpacked someone came over to invite me to play golf with the neighborhood group on Thursday.
Such is life in TV. You'll fit in wherever you wind up.
