We didn't care where we lived in The Villages as long as we could get there! We wanted a lot that didn't back up to another home as we have a "yapper' and we didn't want the sun setting on our lanai. We also wanted a lot large enough to build a birdcage.
I don't think you can live in a "bad" village! They are all wonderful!

Different strokes.
We currently live across from a Park and watch young families and their kids play and it is just steps away from 1 of the pools and rec centers in Baldwin Park (Orlando). Nice view but not a lot of neighbor interaction.
We are not really golfers so a golf view did not mean much to us; especially at 200K lot premium vs the 24K premium we are paying. We are putting that difference into the house itself.
So we chose a larger lot to be able to go with a 3 car garage rather than 2 + golf which is staggered between the houses behind us. The Premier lots are larger so you don't feel like you are on top of each other.
We also chose the lanai/ cage to face West as we are putting in a pool and enjoy the brilliant orange in the sky at night at sunset. The MBR will face North and West.
This is the same as our current house and it works for us. The cage will deflect quite a bit of the sun.
Like I say different reasons for different folks.
