There's always an element of randomness regarding your neighbors. It doesn't matter what village or part of the country. In general, people in the Villages are outgoing and friendly. If you're not absolutely stuck on moving to a young neighborhood, I think you should just pick the area and the house you like the most. There's enough turnover to bring younger retirees to every Village. The activity at pickleball courts at all rec centers suggests you'll meet people anywhere.

I agree that everyone we met during our visit was friendly and helpful. Our first night there, we got lost in our cart and got our map out (as instructed by others here) and within 10 seconds a nice couple stopped and had us follow them to the grocery store.
Thanks to everyone for their comments. We'll probably pick a newer neighborhood mostly because we want a newer house and I agree that the odds are stacked in our favor that we will have nice neighbors.
