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).
Get a good, big guard dog instead.
