Having a degree in engineering and realizing that pressing a red button on the gate to raise it should give rise to the idea it is not a closed and gated community.

Anyhow, between getting a golf point on rainy days, loud movies, and not liking the roundabouts and the gates - you could still make a nice profit on selling your house and finding a true gated community. Best of luck in your endeavors.
