Your concern seems to be personal safety. TV is probably one of the safest places you can live, but NO PLACE is 100% safe. Our crime rates are probably much lower than average but we have golf cart thefts, vandalism on golf courses, DUI's, sometimes a break in, all the problems any community of 70,000 residents will have. For the most part, our roads are public roads. The gates monitor and slow access but do not stop anyone who wants access because they are public roads, open to the public. Most businesses on both squares depend on non-TV residents for patronage. Both squares are not only open to the public, the public is encouraged to come there and spend their money in TV. Don't get the idea that TV is a "gated" community because it is not. We have gates that monitor access only.
