We live in an area about ten years old. It is mature and quiet in our 'hood. I'm certainly not recommending it to others, but I feel quite safe when I walk late at night. Of course, I take my 70 lb dog and my pistol. (Just kidding about the pistol). It's very quiet and peaceful ... I rarely see another human, everyone is tucked into bed.

I have seen coyotes, foxes, bunnies and feral cats on the golf course in back of our house. The only creatures I'm wary of are gators. They seem grouchy and unpredictable to me. Coyotes are usually shy unless you get between mom and her cubs.
