Yes, we are a gated community. It is just that we are a high tech gated community that does not normally restrict access to the roads. However, each vehicle is photographed as it enters or leaves and can be checked. Also, the public does not have access to parks, recreation centers, trails, etc.
While everyone normally has free access to the roads, that can change in an instant. The entire gate system and Community Watch are connected to the 9-1-1 system and the police can patch in to to the security cameras at any time. If needed, traffic can be shut down completely and nobody let in or out until the emergency has cleared. Granted, the PVC poles on the gates aren’t much of a barrier, but neither are they in other gated communities.
Of you want find out how secure our gated community is, try being a bad boy and starting a ruckus.
