To me, one of the great things about the villages is that not only can I be as busy and occupied as I want, I can also kick back and sit on my lanai and read. If I don't go to the squares or rec centers, my neighborhood is very quiet. To me, that means that I have all the advantages of living in the villages, as well as all the advantages of living in a smaller community. If you consider the huge influx of snowbirds to be a problem, then perhaps a smaller community would not have the wait for restaurants and traffic increase. But I don't mind it much, so it's not a problem for me. Good luck with your decision.
