On May 10, 2024, in a letter to the editor of a newspaper of TV, a resident of Caroline wrote about needing a fence, "... we do not want strangers to come into our private yard." They also spoke of "three fatalities" behind their home, and although this sounds like a traffic issue, who knows?

Okay, there's an area to avoid, no?
Several apartment buildings have been built and several more to come. This means a constant flow of transients coming and going. When purchasing a home, pay attention to your surroundings. If you sense an area may be troublesome, stay away! It only takes one or a few to bring havoc to your neighborhood. Remember: The Villages is not a gated community. Anyone can get in or out at any time of the day.

Having said that, there hasn't been much crime in the Villages. But, this doesn't mean you shouldn't keep your guard up. Again, if you feel uncomfortable in an area, STAY AWAY! There are plenty of homes on the market to choose from.
