Why Gated Community Is so Popular?
When looking for a new
home, one of the top priorities for a homeowner is location. Whatever our
tastes, urban, suburban, or rural, everyone wants to live someplace that suits
our wish, where we feel safe living and peaceful, raising our families. To
achieve these amenities, home buyers can do ample area research on things such
as educational Institutions, resell values and crime statistics. They can also
choose to purchase a home in an area with strong community spirit, such as one
with an active neighborhood organization or simply one that knows and looks
out for each other.
People often view the main
aspect of a gated community to be the security it provides. While there are many
other benefits, this is certainly a positive aspect of the Gated community.
Though there is no way to prevent all crime in any community, a gated community
adds an extra level of security by helping to restrict uninvited visitors from
entering. Whatever movies and television may imply, most home attacks are not
well-planned and coordinated heists. In fact, the majority of home attacks,
property theft or sabotage is crimes of opportunity. Generally, it is someone
who simply walked into a neighborhood looking for the easiest target, like an
unlocked door or window. By restricting such entrance, gated communities
ultimately make living safer for the homeowner. And while not a criminal
activity, though you may wish it were, a Gated
community means less door-to-door salesmen ringing your doorbell.
Another benefit to a gated
community is less traffic noise. As neighborhood's and the areas around them
grow, many find that their formerly peaceful community is transformed into
high-traffic short-cuts between major roadways. What can begin as a
neighborhood you feel safe letting your children skate and bike through, can
suddenly feel unsafe for even adults to traverse? In addition, by preventing non-residents
on your neighborhood roadways, you can find that you do not worry about
speeders as residents have a conferred interest in driving safely through their
neighborhood. Also, less traffic means less noise, pollution and need for road
repairs.
Gated communities are also
able to world-class amenities like swimming pools, clubhouses. While a
non-gated community is often limited to providing amenities that can be cheaply
maintained and secured, since it is harder to limit access to residents, gated
communities find that they can invest more into amenities without these
concerns. You will often find state-of-the-art community centers with gorgeous
poolscapes in gated communities. For residents who live on Hill Country
property, they may even enjoy the benefits of a community fishing lake and
maintained walking and biking trails through natural landscapes.
Finally, gated communities
are often more supportive in spirit. Even when these neighborhood's enjoy
large land home sites, residents often find that it is easier to know who your neighbors are, and to enjoy a greater sense of community. And one will find, ultimately,
that this end-result of knowing and caring about your neighbor's often
provides as many benefits as those provided by your community gates.
