Living in a gated community means following its rules. 2. The cost of a house in a gated community can be significantly higher. 3. Homeowners have ongoing costs that they must pay. 4. Some homeowners feel like their privacy gets violated. The monitoring that happens within a gated community can feel like there’s an increase in security and safety.
