The Villages is a big city now. It's a busy place and definitely not for everyone. However most of the Frogs and Seasonal Residents learn to adjust to the crowds. I find that it's pretty quiet within each Village. And with careful planning and avoiding peak times, even in High Season it's quite possible to enjoy golf and restaurants and activities.
