If people are honest with themselves, gated communities are NOT for security reasons. It's for the prestige. Some people have told me they think gates are a false sense of security, and I 100% agree with them. Anyone can still sneak past a gate. Why I live in a gated community is for the WOW! factor. I want WOWs all along the path to my house from people who have never been there before.
#1: Pull up to the guard station: Wow!
#2: Drive through the FIRST gate: Wow!
#3: Drive past the water fountains, clubhouse, pools, and tennis courts: Wow!
#4: Drive up to the second guard station (my house): Wow!
#5: Drive through MY gate: Wow!
#6: Drive up my driveway and see my home in all its glory even before walking inside: Wow!
Now THAT'S why I live in a gated community -- it's an easy, daily way to keep feeling good about your life.
