We have a place in the Villages, but our permanent home is in El Dorado Hills, Ca, a very upscale town 10 miles from Folsom prison. No crime to speak of, great schools, friendly hometown environment, with houses selling from 500k to 3M...if there was a problem living close to a prison, I don't think people would be rushing to buy here, paying over the asking price in a lot of cases. And, people wouldn't be rushing to the Villages either for many of the same reasons. I really don't think you did a thorough job in your research...there are a lot more factors to think of in considering where to move...and I think most Villagers are thrilled to have discovered such a great place to live at such a reasonable price. I don't think 100,000 Villagers could be that stupid.

The Villages on the smaller scale might have more concealed licenses on a whole because we have a large concentration of law-abiding citizens with clean records and prior military experience. How do I know that, we have the largest American Legion in the country and the VA opened a medical facility in TV because the Leesburg branch couldn't handle it, and within the first year I believe they fulfilled the compliment of 16,000 veterans. I feel safer in TV than anywhere else in Florida. What if a nut case opened fire at one of the squares? I don't think it would happen because they would be out-numbered very quickly. They're mostly cowards who go to gun-free zones like schools to do their shooting. If you want to live in a gun-free state, I use to live in one it was called the State of Maryland, it was almost impossible to get a concealed weapon permit. When I lived there I would never go into Baltimore City unless I absolutely had business there or was in a large group of people. |

If you're worried about a prison break I can assure you that is not an everyday occurrence. There are a lot more bad guys that are not in prison.

I played golf with Whitey Bulger today. He wanted to wager cigarettes but I don't smoke. I ended up losing two cups of Ramen Noodles and a bag if Fritos. He cheated but I let it slide for some reason.

Have you noticed an increase in these types of posts since the Political Forum is not available for some to air their anxiousness? To suggest the lack of knowledge of the surroundings is foolish.
You should see your neighbors at the gun range. Very impressive to say the least. Many are Veterans, I wouldn't test them. Many of the Villagers women at the range are a better shot than the men. So back up Jack. Peace Out! |

I think folks should be reminded you do not live here and have never lived here. Just to be fair. We who call this place home find much to enjoy and we feel defensive.

OP, the sinkholes are a bigger problem than the proximity of the prison. Too bad you decided not to buy based on the location of the prison, you are the one losing out. This is one of the greatest places on earth. Hope you find what you are looking for.

Research is flawed and only has considered one factor out of many to live here. I've never lived in a safer place, as crime is very low. That's a fact. Since you have ruled out living here, it's your loss is all I can say, as 120,000 happy people can't be all wrong for choosing this safe place home. I'm wondering if the OP has ever visited TV. First post makes me suspicious. HMMMMMM.......unless it's pot stirring.

And almost none of it is violent. It is mostly personal property theft usually to buy drugs. More a nuisance than a major threat.
