You can use a seed world like the Stronghold Village (this on Xbox) to get a village right away near the spawn point but I like to randomize and see what comes up. Usually I climb a mountain or build a quick tower to see farther around me. If that doesn't work, I start boating because a lot of towns are on rivers and oceans. I like hunting them down, but it's time consuming.
I started sleeping at night thinking that might help, but ultimately it didn't. Sometimes the Golem gets stuck somewhere and neglects the town.
I was thinking of walls but it's so time consuming in survival mode. I've done moats before and earthworks. Fences might be good, especially stone ones. I usually have a lot of stone anyway from mining. I'll try that next time but there is one problem. Sometimes mobs just spawn anywhere there is a shadow or sometimes just anywhere, like in a house. If I keep the place lit, though, I think I'll be alright.
I also need to remember how to heal a zombie villager. I remember it was a golden apple and maybe a potion.
