The entire community had a gate around it, with a guard at the entrance(s)? ------------------------------------- I am sure each gated community (governed by their respective HOAs) have their own rules and regulations, but they are private communities, not public. The one we lived in (in Jupiter) was gated with uniformed guards at the entrance. The guards were armed with Glocks. Only residents and guests with permission to enter for specific days were allowed within the community. When we bought the house Mrs.E. had not seen it yet. I made our offer on it shortly after taking the Navigator down there. Mrs.E. flew down the day before the closing and we drove over to the community the evening before and attempted to enter so I could show her what we were buying. The guard was a good looking but tough sounding female who, despite my pleas and explanations, politely but firmly refused entry with her palm of her hand on her holstered but very visible sidearm. Once we closed on the house and had the required barcode sticker on the vehicles, she was always pleasant with a wave and big smile. It's kind of laughable for a community to present itself as "gated," when the gate is wide open and there are no uniformed guards. An architect friend of mine lived in Malibu Colony for many years, and when I was in LA and went to visit him, there was a guard's gate and a uniformed guard. If your name was on the visitor's list, you got in and if not and the guard could verify you were a guest (verify via phone call), you also got in. I didn't notice whether the guards were armed. Malibu Colony along the beach has no gates, or guards. up in the hills of Malibu they have gates and guards. The colony is along the highway with little space to a crowded road. |
