Yes. Would be a consideration for me. I would not want to live on any water here in The Villages.

I lived on a very large man made retention lake in south Florida for several years. That community had heavy duty grates in their water management pipes to keep gators out of the lakes where residential homes are. There were never any sightings of gators in any of those retention ponds and lakes. The Villages must not have those grates to keep gators out of our retention ponds. Enjoy your water view if you choose to live on water but it's not for me.
