I live on a pond, but there is a three foot retaining wall and a 42" fence on top of that. Vertical balusters, so gator couldn't climb it (probably). So if you want to live on water, and are really concerned, consider what is between the back/front of your house and the water, and could a gator breech it.

that's what miss lucy said.
