Gated home communities in OKC are more popular than ever before. Demand is expected to increase in the coming years as more development takes place in the city. Residents appreciate the increased sense of safety and community closeness they get by living in a gated community.
Here are 6 reasons gated neighborhoods appeal to homebuyers in OKC:
1. Security
Enhanced security is the most obvious advantage of a gated community. Access is limited to residents, invited guests and approved staff and service providers. The gate keeps unauthorized visitors out. It also limits through traffic, which keeps the community quieter and makes the streets safer for drivers, bicyclists and pedestrians. In gated communities like Highland Pointe in OKC, security is further enhanced with cameras placed strategically to monitor and document activity.
2. Feeling of prestige
Let’s be honest: There’s a certain prestige to living in a gated community. It feels exclusive, because it definitely has benefits you don’t find in more open neighborhoods. That feeling of exclusivity can be helpful when it creates a sense of belonging and community togetherness.
3. Privacy
No one will come to your door in a gated community unless they’re permitted to enter. You won’t have to deal with door-to-door salespeople, canvassers or other unwanted interruptions from strangers. You can relax and enjoy your time at home.
4. Amenities
Gated communities usually have on-site amenities for residents to enjoy. These can include pools, playgrounds, sports courts and more. In a gated community, only residents and invited guests are allowed to use the amenities. The limited usage reduces wear and tear on the amenities and frees up time and space for the people who live there.
5. Resale value
Homes in gated communities often have higher resale values than similar homes in non-gated neighborhoods. When you buy a new home in a gated community, you can reasonably expect to gain $10,000 or more in resale value over the price of a similar home in a non-gated community.
6. Community maintenance
Gated neighborhoods are generally very well maintained by the HOA. The streets, sidewalks, landscaping and amenities are kept in good condition so they look good and function well.
