Why gated communities and estates are becoming popular
Category General News
As urban areas become more and more built up, so security within city boundaries increases out of necessity. Urbanization is a global phenomenon and with urbanization can, unfortunately, come a lack of opportunities, social inequality and escalating crime rates.
However, with anything negative comes positives and this is why so many people are opting to live in estates or gated communities. Often these estates are situated slightly away from the madding crowd of city living and are encouraging city slickers to return to their roots. In turn getting away from the dreary smog-ridden cities that any country around the world experiences.
City life is desirable for various reasons but sometimes opting to live a little out of the city in a gated community or estate can also be a great idea. Here are 5 reasons why we think you should consider it.
