The advertising gave the PERCEPTION of a gated community. So there was no reason to question if it really was or not, when we got here for the first time and saw that yes indeedie - there's the gate for "residents" and there's the one for "visitors." We didn't look at the red button, because we didn't have to. We had an actual person lifting the gate for us.

We probably didn't realize it was /not/ an actual gated community until our third visit. That's when we took the golf cart to an area that had a gate but no booth for someone to stand in and let you through. That was when we noticed the red button.

Yes. Entirely true. And nobody explained the bond either or if it was mentioned it was downplayed. Even so this place is still great
