Was the property properly posted with a sign that said, "Unless you live

Pretty much. Have you seen the signs? They were photographed and put
out on CNN

All the signs said was that it was a neighborhood that had a
neighborhood watch program. It didn't say that you couldn't be walking
on the sidewalk.

They also said trespassers would be arrested and prosecuted

Oh...don't forget...Martin was visiting his father, who lived in the
community. So, please explain as someone invited in by someone who lives
there how Martin was trespassing?

Was there a rent-a-cop in a little kiosk at the entrance to the community?

Our house is on a little private lane. There are five houses along our
road. We do "allow in" firetrucks, police cars, UPS & FEDEX delivery
trucks, tradesmen, visitors, et cetera. Maybe we should put up a gate
and a sign to keep crazed, armed Floridians out, eh?

Here's a good read about gated communities and how the people act:
