Water intrusion is NOT a problem. Especially since we do not have basements. Most homes sit 4 inches or so higher than the ground at the foundation. The sandy soil sucks in the water well. The villages has great drainage in the majority of their residential areas. Homes around ponds are WELL above water level. In most homes, gutters are not even needed.
In short I would say that worrying about water intrusion would be about 50th in my list of concerns of things living here. Things like lightening, sink holes, lack of rain, death of yard grasses, moss in trees, are much higher on my personal list.
