Unlike in many other major metropolitan centers around the nation, Charlotte does not have a large number of gated communities. At least partially this is because in a gated community the roads are considered private and the counties won't maintain the roads within the community. This results in either much higher HOA fees or regular assessments to maintain the private roads. Many home buyers simply don't want to pay those higher fees or assessments.
ADVANTAGES OF GATED COMMUNITIES
Living in a gated community provides some homeowners with a sense of additional security, prestige and exclusivity, as well as privacy.
