Pros and Cons Of Gated Communities

Many people find gated communities attractive. American Housing Survey reported in 2001 that more than 4 million American households live in gated communities. Given the increasing popularity of gated communities over the past 21 year, it is safe to assume that there have been many more.

It is clear that gated communities offer a desirable option for home buyers. If you're considering living in a gated community and are interested in buying a home in one of these communities, you might be interested in the following high-security Hilton Head houses for sale. Are you and your family the right people to live in these neighborhoods? Let's talk about the pros and cons to help you make a decision.

PROS

Privacy and Security

The security aspect is the biggest benefit and reason many homeowners choose to live in gated communities. They are private and therefore difficult to access for intruders, solicitors, or anyone else not part of the community. This helps to keep criminal activity down, which is great if you have ever dealt with crime before you joined the community.

Traffic free

The gates are a safe haven for pedestrians, dog walkers, runners, and all other non-speeding drivers.

Property values that are higher

Gated communities are more likely to have higher property prices than those in non-gated areas. They have stricter standards for home quality, higher building codes, and exclusive living spaces. This does mean that properties in gated communities can be more expensive. However, homeowners in gated communities get better value for their money.

Greater sense of community

Residents are well aware of who belongs and who doesn't in gated communities, and this makes it easier for them to control their comings and goings. This gives residents more freedom to trust each other and forms bonds, making block parties and street sports more common in gated communities.

CONS

Higher prices for properties

As we have already stated, while stricter building codes, exclusive home quality standards, and higher standards of home construction can increase property value and stability, they also often lead to increased prices for properties and a high cost of living in gated communities.

There may be community fees

As we've already said, living in a gated community can be expensive. You may have to pay HOA fees, charges, or other bills along with other residents in order to cover maintenance and guarding of your gate, repairs, etc.

Permission is required for entry

Gated communities have a number of problems. First, visitors must wait in line to gain access to your property. This is a common problem during peak hours. Then they need to call the gate. Gated communities also limit the time that contractors can visit your property to complete their task, and may even deny them entry on holidays.

These days, gated communities are rapidly becoming the best option for homeowners looking for housing alternatives. While gated communities come with high costs, that doesn't mean they aren't worth it. The good news? No two gated communities will be the same. Each community comes with a unique pricing system that could favor your budget.
