Besides the hawks swooping and coyotes jumping into courtyards, don't forget the very real likelyhood of fire ants and venomous snakes. Those are found in The Villages. There are also very large toads that are extremely poisonous to dogs.

A poster said they have built an enclosed area outdoors for their pugs and after the pugs "do their business" that "We also installed some drains so we can easily clean and hose the area." How ecologically correct is hosing dog poop down the drains or do you pick it up and discard it properly before hosing the area?
