Good morning Brad. Have lived in unrestricted gated communities and would offer the same suggestion, make sure it is for you! Enjoy your day.
Gates are not for me, but many people love living in those communities. Enjoy your day!
Brad, I just added gated communities to my website, as we have quite a few gated communities in Denver.
I've never lived in a gated community. However, we are seeing more of them being built all the time.
We lived in one prior to being here. It was nice in some ways, no traffic from looky loos, but much prefer our rural home and situation. We live in a very safe area, so it's not security concerns for most.
Brad some people think of gated communities as a safe haven others see it as prison so it is all about their perspective:)Endre
Hello Brad, You do a great job of making people think about gated communities.
Good morning, Brad... the closest I've come to living in a gated community is in doorman coops in New York City... and I liked it. I could leave town for weeks without locking my door and nothing would be disturbed. We don't have a lot of gated communities in the Charlotte area... when we gate a community the roads become private and the cost to maintain them is passed on to the homeowners. People just don't want that expense. Fortunately, on the whole, Charlotte is a safe area.
