I am always amused by the few who bad mouth the "fake" gated community...a want in their mind only.

The gates are strictly traffic control....activity between golf cars and full sized automobiles...nothing more.

Yes some have cameras...mostly to record a collision incident...most of which is the crashing of the gate(s).
Some may dispute that The Villages doesn't claim to be a gated community. Here is one of the FAQ's on The Villages website. I think the FAQ should be modified to clarify the "gated entries" reference.

Is The Villages Safe?

The Villages offers an array of services designed to ensure safety and security throughout the community. That includes gated entries, Villages Public Safety, House check program (Home Away), Community watch and one of the lowest crime rates, and the close relationships and watchful eyes of your neighborhood friends.
