At planning and zoning hearings across America, homeowners have protested proposed development of nearby properties outside their subdivisions. Anyone buying near the borders of any subdivision should be familiar at least with what is currently outside the boundary, as well as the county's future land use plan. Even then, there are no guarantees.

That said, there are relatively few homes in the vast expanse of TV that border or will border TV's perimeter. So don't be too concerned. It's easier to find a home in TV that's not on the border than one that is.

As for crime, I've never seen any evidence that homes along the borders of TV have crime problems; and I doubt that they do. I suspect that as TV continues to develop, the new perimeter also will have adequate buffers and barriers.

Just my thoughts and I could be wrong.
