As urban living becomes more popular, more people with financial freedom are choosing to live in gated communities. Even in Tier-1 and Tier-2 cities, gated communities are on the increase due to basic issues with privacy, amenities, and safety for residents. Even though a gated community may cost more to rent or purchase a unit than a non-gated one, you can be sure that the procedures are well-maintained and the security measures are strictly followed every day.

Here are some factors you should think about as an investor or owner before moving into a gated community, even though they are the pinnacle of modern amenities and easy visitor control.

1. Location and Home Value: Make note of the area’s location and notable sites before moving to a gated community. Always pick a project from a reputable builder that is near important commuter routes and markets. Its location in an area that is continually developing also raises the home’s worth for purposes of reselling or renting. Make sure your neighbourhood has a low crime and pollution incidence at the same time. 

2. Full Protection: A big community is diligent about offering total safety to its residents and complies with most security-related laws. CCTV cameras are installed at every perimeter, there are stationed guards at the entrance gate, and there is robust internal software that allows residents to continuously watch the activity in their entire apartment community.

3. Rules and Regulations that Work: Check the set of rules and regulations set by the apartment members or the builders. It pledges to promote peaceful living following the laws and customs of every community. 

4. Amenities: Depending on the size of the community’s buildings, each one has a distinct set of amenities. A decent community includes amenities like security guards, CCTV, a gym, a clubhouse, contemporary play areas, and retail establishments, among others.
