What makes you think The Villages does anything to prevent alligators from wandering into DeLuna? Don would of course have real knowledge of how this works, but my guess (and it's a guess) is that TV is prevented, just like the neighbors of the wetlands are prevented, from going in there and harvesting any wildlife.
I would not "assume any measures are in place to ensure safety". I'd be careful about wandering too close to the edges where I can't see what lurks beneath, and I'd be careful about walking around in the dark. I have friends who walk every day before sunrise in the winter months and they always carry flashlights so they can see where they are going. They have seen alligators walking around in neighborhoods not particularly close to water features. It's what gators do.
This isn't Disney Land. It's a community built with a lot of gator habitat in it, so safety measures are largely your responsibility.
I don't fret about gators, but I keep my eyes open. They can keep my golf balls.

Don't you remember a child was killed by a gator in Disney World? Also one was actually swimming around in Splash Mountain recently while the ride was open! There's a video on YouTube.
So I guess Florida is a gator habitat period and Disney isn't immune.
