I have had several requests for a "Gated Community List" in the Triangle so I thought I'd publish the list for those that are interested. The Triangle are is not known for having many gated communities. Most of these communities are small and elite neigbhorhoods.

In 1996 Cary and Carrboro passed ordinances banning gated communities. They were approved because of concerns that such communities were exclusionary and that they could delay the responses of fire trucks and ambulances.

Some of these communities have gaurds and others have electronic code access.

What do you think? Are they just to make you feel more secure or are they really that much more protected?

I know when going into Lattamoor that you travel with someone behind you showing properties they can follow you in with no problem.

It's very interesting to me. It sounds like it's interesting to you too, Susan, and you've had some experience with this.

Cary and Carborro banned Gated Communities back in 1996 because there wre concerns that such communities were exclusionary and that they could delay the responses of fire trucks and ambulances. It makes sense to me.

However, there are about 8 million Americans who live in gated communities, partly out of a sense that walled enclaves are safer than traditional neighborhoods. They have a sense of security in a gated community. It's funny to me because the Triangle is such a safe area to live in-one of the safest cities in America. On the other hand, the Triangle is such a cosmopolitan area. Some clients I work with live here part of the year and overseas for the rest of the year. In this scenario a gated community makes a lot of sense. They need the security offered by a gated community,.

Sometimes its for security, prestige, or a bit of both. The bottom line- gated communities are spreading across the Triangle.
