Gated Community is a form of residential complex, sometimes characterised by high walls and fences. It boasts of controlled entrances, surveillance of those entering the premises, clean surroundings and amenities. These communities offer freedom from the hassles of everyday civic problems, ranging from water cuts and pebble-strewn streets to living with the stench of unpicked garbage cans. An apartment in a gated
community by a reputed developer is normally a safe bet.
An independent house, on the other hand, is normally customised to the buyer’s requirements. The advantage of having an independent house is that it provides ample open space and clutter-free living. Whatever the choice, make sure you pre-determine who is to look after the common facilities such as roads, water and power supply and back-ups etc. There are some developments where villas or townhouses are
provided within the gated complex with all the advantages that normally come with apartments. These are more expensive but safer and hassle free. You should however, be prepared to pay enhanced maintenance charges for these facilities.
