We have lived here 4+ years. A good piece of advice for ANYWHERE in FL is that if there is water, there is a gator. We have "ponds" close to us and have seen a gator more than once. We play golf and frequently see a gator in the water on along the water on the course. I've even had to bypass a hole because of a gator.
You just have to be aware. The further you are from water, the less likely you are to see one. The bigger the body of water, the bigger the gator. Don't walk along the ponds especially with you pet. If a golf ball goes in the water, think twice about retrieving it.
