Gated Community Fence Wall

Gated community fences are not just for the wealthy anymore. "We think of affluent people and mini-mansions in exclusive enclaves, but we don't think about the multifamily, higher density, lower-income residents also being in that type of development," says Tom Sanchez, an associate professor of urban affairs and planning at Virginia Tech. Many people and builders are turning to gated wall community lifestyles. Even one-bedroom apartment complexes can enjoy the privacy and security that gated community fences offer.

The fastest growing use of gated community fence resides with the middle-class group of United States citizens, according to Ed Blakely, co-author of Fortress America: Gated Communities in the United States and the dean of the Milano Graduate School at New School University in New York.

The Census Bureau states that all across the United States as well as around the world, people in cities and suburbs desire to live in walled or gated communities. The Census Bureau's 2001 American Housing Survey contacted 62,000 random household and found:

  • Over seven million households are in areas behind gated community fences.
  • Four million have gates with entry codes, key cards and/or security guards.
  • The West and Southwest areas have the largest concentration of gated communities, but popularity is growing in the East and around the world.
  • After 9/11, living gated community fence use increased as a way to create a family or community safety zone.
  • Security is paramount for baby boomers as they look forward toward retirement.

Whether surrounding luxury homes or apartment buildings, gated community fences create a barrier defining property, providing protection and keeping specific objects or persons in or out. Gating or walling a community limits the number of people who can come in, park their cars, loiter and litter. A gated community wall can discourage criminal activity as well.

Anthropologist Setha Low spent eight years surveyed gated community residents for the book, Behind the Gates: Security and the New American Dream. She discovered the priority of having a safe environment for children as well as having people nearby who maintain similar values.
