Wouldn't allow such a fear to dominate my choice of location for a home. Probably much more likely to be hit crossing a street or slipping in your own bathtub. But both of those things DO happen. So, if you choose a lot on a pond or lake, always be cautious but if that is going to dominate your thoughts, maybe not pick a lot on water ! Also keep in mind, many many people in all parts of Florida have found small gators on porches, stoops, crossing lawns, on just "relaxing" in the sun on the patio. Almost everyone of those people was NOT harmed.
