Living in Venice, FL is a very quiet existence. Most of the population here is older people, which in some aspects can be helpful. My parents were older when they had me, so I am more prone to dealing with the older population in general. That fact helps me with my job in customer service, and dealing with my peers and neighbors in general. The safety of Venice seems to be relatively safe, being that most older folk probably won't rob a bank. From going to school here, and in other states, I did notice our education system was poor. That's most likely just because it's not in the county's fitted interests. Overall, Venice is a very calm town with beautiful beaches but a lot of older tourist traffic.
Here for a eight month visit to see if this is the place we want to be from October through May. The experience has been a pleasant one, however, I won't be coming back anytime soon. Stayed at a house in The Lakes of Jacaranda and it was an incredibly lovely community with awesome neighbors that we had the pleasure and honor to befriend.
PROS: incredibly clean. Friendly neighbors. Beautiful, clean beaches. Play tennis for nine months with no problem finding a singles or doubles game.
CONS: crowded during peak season. Dead during off season. Not too much to do. Alligators and yes! Crocs. Buggy and exhaustingly humid. Too many craft fairs that can become dull very fast! Boring place to live.

I love the Venice area - it has a lot to offer between going to the beach, enjoying the Jetty's, beach restaurant experiences as well as communities with land and farms. There's quite a bit to do as far as entertainment and fun and plenty of places to choose to eat. It's not too far from more popular places like Siesta Key but it's still a nice town away from it all. I'd love to see more for kids growing up to do - there are bowling alley's and beaches, movie theaters and things like that but I'd love to see an arcade place or a place where kids could go and hang out. There are a lot of options as far as difference churches and groups such as that for kids to get involved in though. I love our town.
