In a gated community, you are also responsible for road maintenance so you will have to pay an additional annual fee.

But also know the amenity fees would be going up substantially to apply the appropriate security in a true gated mode.

In addition there would be a substantial slow down of the flow of traffic as there would be the process of validating non villages residents.

We lived in a true gated community. 100% loved it. It was not a community with hundreds of thousands of homes and the support traffic required. If your name was not on the list at the guard shack as authorized by a resident you were not allowed access.

So as the saying goes be careful what you wish for and know and understand the consequences.
