I’m at Sawgrass once or twice a week attending the wonderful show kitchen classes, which in my opinion, is the best “restaurant” in TV, and so entertaining. I’m at boozey bingo at Sawgrass with a great group of friends most Monday nights. I’m in a shuffleboard league that rotates between various rec centers south of 44. I play pickleball every week at the new Dabney Rec Center. I’m at Fenney at least once a week for lunch and walking the nature trails. Most of my indoor activities center around Ezell and Everglades Rec Centers. I’ll go a few weeks without even going to Brownwood. The south for me is a vibrant area where people are super-active and very friendly. I enjoy not being near all the brick-and mortar retail.

The "vibe" is different because that is where you live.
Every thing you said can also be said by people living in other areas. Be it up in the northern "hinterlands", "between the 6's", or, like me, between 466A and 44...
You really have no idea what the "vibe" is anywhere else... Just as those who live farther north don't really know the "vibe" where you live...
Most people make friends near where they live. Be it in the southern or in the northern Villages...
My wife loves shopping at Anthony's in Colony Plaza. She goes to exercise classes and plays pickleball both north and south of 44, depending on what's available that day. She belongs to two different women's groups, one north and one south of 44. No one in either group cares where you live. I like being close to Lowe's or Ace Hardware... And that's what's great about The Villages. There's something for everyone!
