I want one for my bedroom window and a security screen door for the front door.

It's probably very easy to find one that those things WILL penetrate.
If someone wants to break into your house, they will. Where would you stop? So you pay $1,000 for a screen door but then you have all your windows. Metal bars is really what you're looking for but then what? Have you really protected against a simple lock-picker or someone getting past the garage door? What happens when you open the door to leave the house and someone jumps out of the bushes?
The Villages is really a fairly safe place. If anything I'd be more concerned that all the security would prevent fire fighters from gaining entry to stop a fire (perhaps more likely than a forced entry).
