I lived in Florida for a while. Our house was near a canal where gators liked to hang. They always came up and basked in the sun on the paved street in front of our house. Sometimes, we'd have to shoo them off the road to get our car down the street. They were pretty skittish of us and if we approached them, they would just walk off back into the water. You didn't want to have a pet dog or let your toddler play unattended in that neighborhood though. The gators stayed out of the yards. The farthest they would go away from the water would be the street. They really steered clear of the homes and people.
