While looking at prospective places to live, other than Maryland (there is somewhat of an exodus right now), I've found out that alligators come pretty far up, almost into Virginia!

Does anybody have experience living around these giant lizards? How big of a concern are they? How far down into brackish water do they go? I'm guessing it's best for my little dogs to stay away from the waters edge. I'm looking at NC coastal areas below the outer banks. ("the inner banks")
It seems like wherever you go, there is always some thing or some body that wants to take a bite out of your buttocks.
