Gated Communities – What’s True!!! 

The first thing that comes to our mind when we think of Gated-Community is living in Congested Spaces with Security Concerns. It’s after this that we think of amenities like a park, swimming pool, maintained streetscapes, basketball, tennis, badminton and squash courts, community center with multi-purpose halls and so on.

However, our firsthand interaction with the common public gave us an understanding that common understanding of Gated-Communities and their perception do not align with the reality. We thought, why not break some common misconceptions before our Client’s take their next major decision, BUYING A HOUSE.


Myth - 01

It’s extremely congested!

The most common misconception related to the idea of living in a gated community is that it would be extremely crowded. The perception is that builders & developers would not leave enough open space, as they would want maximum profit from the built-up area.

01 - Fact

Gated communities have 60-80% of open spaces.

The reality, however, is completely contradictory to the perceptions of buyers. The game changers of this industry are aiming for a minimum of 60% of open spaces and are hiring premium designers to design the landscapes in a manner that utilizes all the available area for the builder very effectively. The motive is to re-create peaceful, traffic free & pollution free open spaces that can be used by people living in the gated-community.

Myth - 02

It’s high on maintenance!

Common man is also led to believe that living in Gated-Communities is high on maintenance cost of amenities.

02 - Fact

Community living maintenance costs are quite reasonable.

Responsible developers like GEM Builders, who are passionate about their offerings, are hiring professional third-party contractors for maintaining the community, which includes, cleaning of the roads, pedestrian pavements, gardening, paying the gate guards and security.

Myth - 03

It lacks privacy!

One of the most concerning and common misconceptions about gated communities is that the residents seem to be interfering into each other’s business all the time. The idea of several families staying in a single building raises the misconception that they would hinder each other’s peace and privacy.

03 - Fact

Community living gives priority to your privacy.

Responsible and reputed builders always take the number of occupants in account, while designing the layout of their communities. The density of the people in gated communities is controlled by intricate planning and preparations in respect to occupancy rates.

Myth - 04

It’s quite expensive!

Since gated community is a new concept and is being implemented everywere, common man relates to it as an expensive lifestyle experience that could only be affordable to the affluent sections of the society.

04 - Fact

Community living is budget friendly too.

The ever-evolving builder & development companies have realized that gated communities is what today’s home-buyer is looking for, with only hindrance being the affordability. This is one of major reasons, why builders are offering community lifestyle in various investment brackets now days.
