What is the advantage of a closed community?
Since all common areas including the roads are owned by the owners association, it is the owners who decide who enters the community and, more importantly, who does not enter. The area is walled in and the entrance gate is either to be opened by a remote control or a guard. This prevents unwanted traffic and a provides a security situation that can be easily kept under control. Children can safely move around and homeowners can leave the island and leave their house behind without concern.
