I moved to The Villages from Staten Island, NYC 18 months ago. For the first time in my life, I feel safe. I don’t have or need additional digital door locks, cameras and the fear of walking around after dark as I had in SI. I love it here. Being in the “Bubble” is safer than anywhere in NYC. Staten Island use to be safer than the other boroughs. Not so anymore. The criminals drive around at night, case the neighborhood, check your car to see if it was left unlocked and if it was, they took whatever they could. Crime is high and in Brooklyn it is much worse. It’s not uncommon to see a car on blocks because they stole your tires and rims. Is it perfect here, it is for me.
