Join the club ... many of us thought we were buying into a gated community.
However as Roz stated, The Villages is a community with gates, not a gated community. Big difference.
Almost all of the streets are publicly owned. Therefore access cannot be denied to joe public.
If the streets were owned by The Villages, our Amenities would be much higher, because residents would be responsible for maintaining the streets.
I do think there is a deterrent factor for "nuisance" sales people who don't know "the ropes".
The gatehouses and the access cards do give the appearance of a controlled, gated community.
