Advantages of living in a gated community in the Gibraltar South District

Living in a gated community has many advantages. Mainly, they are looking for a quiet and safe place, especially if it is to live in an urbanization with private security services and limited access for vehicles and people.

Advantages

However, living in urbanization offers other advantages that we now detail and that you should not forget.

Security: ideal for families with children

The main reason why many families choose to live in urbanization is security. As it is an enclosed space, it is exclusively for residential use.

Controls on the entry of vehicles and people prevent non-residents from entering and prevent the possibility of theft of people or homes. But they also allow safer spaces for children to play, as there are no strangers and they cannot freely leave the urbanization.

Likewise, living in urbanization provides urban and road safety, as there is practically no road traffic, which prevents accidents or run-overs.

Tranquility: they are usually isolated from the hustle and bustle of the city.

Living in urbanization allows tranquility that is not found in other places. The hustle and bustle of the city are outside. There are fewer vehicles and people in motion, which generates less noise and, in turn, less stress. The pace of life is generally slower in urbanization.

Privacy: common spaces for neighbors only

And the greater security and tranquility that comes with living in urbanization translates into real rest. Sleeping or relaxing activities are easier in these places protected from outside noise.

Nor are they affected by bars or entertainment venues and regulations prevent excesses of any kind.

Good maintenance: a group of professionals will take care of everything.

In general, urbanization create and take care of their own green areas and common spaces. Plants absorb noise and create oxygen, so they invite you to walk or play sports and generate that feeling of well-being.

Economic savings: it is cheaper than an isolated house.

The type of housing that is built in urbanization tends to be single-family, which favors luminosity and spaciousness. But the key is size, as urbanization, being far from the center, offer more individual and collective space for housing. Living in urbanization is cheaper than living in a detached house.

Family atmosphere

It is easy to understand that living in a gated community increases the chances of having neighbors with families, with many of our interests or with similar lifestyles. This is important when it comes to socializing among all the neighbors and proposing changes or adjustments to the internal rules.

In the case of the family, living in a private urbanization stimulates the realization of activities in common, which tightens the bonds by allowing to enjoy more family time.

Exclusive services: gym, swimming pool and more

Many private developments offer exclusive services for the use and enjoyment of residents. The most common may be swimming pools, green areas or gyms or sports areas. But there may also be stores or restaurants, depending on the size of the urbanization.

The list of possible services is very wide and covers private security, lifeguards for the pool or pools, cleaning, gardening or education.

Convenience: park in the garage

And, although we cannot consider it an exclusive service, living in urbanization assures you the parking, which is very practical in Gibraltar.

How to choose a private urbanization

With all the list of advantages of living in urbanization that we have reviewed, it will be easier to choose the right one. It is enough to review all the above points and compare what the different alternatives have to offer.

Beyond the typology, the meters of the house, and its prices, to choose urbanization it is necessary to value the community and the neighborhood. It is a matter of valuing how much or how little the neighbors seek or has a similar lifestyle.

Also very important are the community services available and the proximity and good communication with others outside the urbanization, such as public services like hospitals.

In this sense, connections and transport are important, both for private vehicles and public transport services. And not forgetting the distance to the city center, to your place of work, or to your children’s schools or universities.

In conclusion, it is necessary to value these advantages correctly to be able to choose the best urbanization for our family.
