The manned gate, best approach IMO.

There is a gated community in Arizona that you have to use a ID to leave for a few hours.Later I found that it is a low security jail.

Thank you for taking the time to help out and get out of your comfort zone Great video

We're really not into gated communities anymore and here's why. One "gated community" lakefront. The intruders pulled up to the house on a boat, and entered that way. Another one was a campground, the gate didn't run across the whole front. So basically, at night you could just walk or even drive around the gate without anyone noticing. Even with our community pool which you needed a code for. Always, someone would tell their kid the code and half the pool could hear it. They finally went to cards. Our pool has kind of the reputation of being the nicest pool around, and always every summer---you catch someone trying to sneak in. They'll kind of hang in the parking lot; then follow someone opening the door.

Most gated communities I am familiar with are manned. You must have your ID, they call your home and you have to give the guard permission to allow a person in. Your tags are automatically photographed as well. I notice MOST don't use the amenities. They have their own pool for privacy (I know its crazy). Theres usually two lines, one for guests and one for residents with a car responder that opens the gate automatically. :). It truly depends on the location....not really a fear factor (to me). I like that there are rules to help keep your property value up (like if someone wanted to paint a cow or something on their house LOL)

Great content in this video Ken. Keep up the good work. Happy Holidays.

I didnt know that CLARK KENT lives in a gated community, i guess you learn something new every day

Splendid vid Ken

Awesome info!!

Great job

Very informative video

Ken's hair is absolutely on point at all times.

great advice !!

Great video. Besides security, isn’t it a Pro or Con, depending on the perspective, that any alteration to the gated community house has to be approved by a Board (on top of the standard city permit) to “keep the community neat”?

Interesting.

I tend to be higly skeptical about gated cmmunities. Indireclty it gives less resources for whom live outside these communities, and for the most deprived zone will end to the rise of criminality, and this is happening since decades ago, it's a vitious-circle. I don't say that's it's the lone reason, but it can one of most factors of excessive inequality in the society, and the rise of that inequalities.

Is it possible to purchase investment properties with 2 or more ppl?

I had a friend who does not respect peoples rules when he visits. He lights blunts and talla about jail stuff really load.. and if You tell him he can't smoke cuz if The neightbors.. he goes to your bathroom and amokes there.. I was almost traunayized from his visits.

You may want to edit this vedio. Are we talking about central Oregon or central Florida?

A passcode is to easy to share for something like a gated community might as well just leave the gates open at that rate.

Summerport!

The problem in Florida is all the new homes are being built in gated communities. A serious issue with gated communities is that traffic cannot divert and causes serious congestion

Mine opens via remote control & the HOA’s are only $75 a month in SC

I just moved into one and the worst part is the packages idk how to get them

So if you own the house out right and you don’t pay the gate fee do they stop you from entering?

My security is my 9 mm and also my Doggo argentino

Are gated communities in Central Florida more conservative? Are there any liberal gated communities?

Security, especially if you only live there for a few months a year.

They don’t have to deal with seeing tents everywhere.

Your need to alter your costs: I pay $550/mo in Champions Gate.

gated community, annoying for guests

How does the amazon deliveries get in?

There is a gated community in Sacramento California are that is really odd.everbody home before 8 pm because the gate locks and unlocks at 6 AM so if you are late,you sleep in your car outside the gate.All home interior lights out by 10 pm.All homes are secured by the HOA. If you have to move around then you have to call the HOA.The refrigerator/freezer is owned by the HOA and there is a scanner/weight scale that keeps track of your food.Low on food,the HOAs computer will order it for you at a good mark up.

is it worth paying the HOA fees? how much per month is the usual?

Erm... Why is this safety such a big issue? Is America really that dangerous? I thought it was supposed to be a developed, modern safe country wtf is going on?!?

Like your info but can you speak slower.

I saw 3 hooded statue in the middle of the park lmao evil stuff did a house worth 3 million. Cult like.

Gated or nothing. I prefer the safety and being away from the city and it's elements.

Live person is overrated. If you don't believe me check out defcon videos on social engineering gate guards.

For me there are no cons living in a gated community

Don't tell me to sub or make you my realtor because I willl most certainly do the opposite

My net worth is 1.4 million and I live in a low income area in my town. My taxes are LOW. Could care less to live in a place like this.

HOA'S really suck....

The ironic issue with a gated community is that they naturally attract a certain type of criminal element from within and outside the community. I once watched a house party rage for a weekend, the home owner hired they're own security to bounce at the door, the POA rent a cops showed up and got clowned on, then the police showed up and had no idea what to do either, as the homeowner wouldn't come to the door; The Cops left, the POA left, and the party raged on. Come to find out it monday was a 17 year old kid home alone for the weekend! People don't lock their cars or garages either so you get petty crime that isn't reported or noticed till people are missing $1200 worth of shit. Stolen golf carts, kids overdosing huffing, A/C condensers, fights in the park over barbeque pits on 4th of july, strange things happen be sure of it.
