Considering your relatively young age and marital status, I would opt for a courtyard villa in one of the new villages such as Chitty Chatty. My husband and I live at Heathrow Preserve in the Village of Lake Deaton in one of the larger homes. If I were single, I would opt for a somewhat smaller home because it's easier to maintain, easier to sell if you decide to cohabitate with someone, and usually are populated with more singles. I have found that quite often, the more southern you go in TV, the younger the population. However, there are certainly a plethora of ways to meet individuals here so you should be fine wherever you choose. Good luck!

We also had remodeled the last two homes and decided on Marsh Bend. The new home needed nothing, the people are amazing. We have been here less then two months and I am already on a men's tennis singles league, men's tennis doubles, playing water volleyball and beach tennis with a group down here. The south area will be the go to spot before you know it. Spent a month renting and bought the next month!!!
