Perhaps because we are all models, our lots are bigger, I don't know. I have never heard a sound on either side, plus we are all very good friends. They both plan to live here till the end because they love their houses as much as we love ours. Only reason we got in was because of a death of the owner of this house. I think many in the Villages have close neighbors on their sides besides their backs. That gives at least 3 neighbors to contend with... I know some have problems with TVs on lanai etc. already mentioned.
I was not happy at all when I had houses behind us.
We looked for quite a while and we were always surprised at how many houses that have no homes behind and are reasonably priced resales. Our one requirement was no homes behind.
This home was a model and furnished by an interior designer. That was the the big difference and made it perfect for us. So now we all, including my little dog(who watches all the creatures) are very very happy.
To each his own.

I'm glad to hear you are happy with your home. Yes, from what I've seen, at present you do have quiet neighbors, which is a good thing. Hopefully that won't change for you. Good luck in your new home!
