Gated Communities – Top 5 Benefits

1. Security - Clearly, those who consider relocating into a gated community have assessed the security of the average open-traffic neighborhood and found it wanting. Gated communities limit access to only residents and their guests, and the resultant benefits to domestic life are manifold. Young children, for example, may play relatively freely without the danger of speeding through traffic or uninvited strangers. Such communities are often monitored by private security details, greatly deterring burglars or vandals. Consequently, gated communities are ideal for those who live alone, or whose upscale standard of living may invite security concerns.
   
   
2. No Through Traffic - Beyond a mere safety concern, the advantages of prohibiting through traffic are inherent: an appreciable difference in noise pollution, a restive atmosphere of peace and quiet, and free and clear streets for resident transit. Tired of being awoken in the middle of the night by strange honks and car alarms? This aspect of a gated community will make such an annoyance a thing of the past.
   
   
3. Property Value - Homes within gated communities frequently reside within the upper echelons of design, value, and standards of upkeep. As such, homes of this sort have a better than average chance of retaining or gaining value, even given market fluctuations. Buffeted against such dramatic price alterations, gated community properties are generally thought to be better investment vehicles than other types of housing.
   
   
4. Social Atmosphere - Another marked advantage of a gated community is the relatively similar socio-economic strata of neighboring residents. As such, social values, expectations, and priorities tend to be in alignment, and a more consistent community atmosphere often naturally develops. Community centers may be available to encourage mingling and relaxation, fostering the feel of small-town friendliness.
   
   
5. Customized Services - Gated communities may create their own specific municipalities to manage snow plowing/removal, street cleaning, landscaping, and the like.
