JimJoe is right about different things in The Villages. I was playing golf on a course in the village of Calumet. Beautiful course and beautiful homes but the train tracks are very close by and the train noise and whistles would disturb me if I lived there. There was also a working farm just on the other side of the fence and it did have some farm smells - but not bad.
I do hear the train whistles late at night but it is faraway and is kind of a comforting sound - at a distance.
There are no hog lots here - thank goodness!
I have heard that there have been burglaries of unfinished houses in the areas such as Buttonwood. It has been the appliances being stolen. Wildwood is in a direct line to that and is a rather economically depressed area with a higher crime rate.
The Community Watch has no arrest or detain authority but they will call the police if necessary.
Personally, I feel 100% safe here. I go walking the panda (see the picture) at midnight with no problem.
