No, The Villages is not 100% crime free but it is safer than any other area of the country I have ever heard of. Where else can someone feel 100% safe walking on deserted streets after midnight or driving in a golf cart along a cart path that is unlit through woodsy areas?
I can only think of one violent crime in the 2 years I have been here and that was a domestic shooting between wife and husband in their home.
You will see a rude person once in a great while but no fighting. The crowds at the town squares are very pleasant. I actually like to see the teens around Spanish Springs - all are non-threatening and basically it is a great safe environment for them to be in.
Very few robberies from golf carts except when parked in large lots at the edges of The Villages.
This is truly the best place you can imagine to live.
