As the folks above have said, The Villages is a friendly social network probably unlike anywhere else in the world. Neighbors, club and activity people you meet are almost universally delightful. There is Everything to do!

But there are times that privacy and the sounds only of birds are an absolute luxury. We picked our courtyard villa because it is on a corner at the end of our street, with a large secluded side yard, and a beautiful golf front. Literally, from any place in the yard or around our pool, we cannot see or hear other people or vehicle noise. The golfers are far enough away that we only hear the occasional cheer for a good shot. Despite how much we love our active social lives, we never realized how much we would treasure the peace and quiet. It's paradise!!!
