Man, as a rule of nature, usually prefers to move in groups and numbers seeking protection among a large number of people who co-exist, look out and support one another at all times. In fact mankind’s instinctive reaction, especially with regard to shelter is that to first seek a roof over ones head and next, to ensure that he’s amidst others of his own ilk and kind.

Draw your attention to the golden adage that ‘food clothing and shelter are man’s primary needs’ and it seems but natural that this wisdom holds just as much true in today’s world as it did in the time of yore.

The concept of society living

Taking forward the concept of co-existing individually and yet living together in a community, many individuals intentionally seek to reside in residential communes that amply provide this sort of an arrangement. Not only do these communes provide an obvious sense of security and safety but they also foster a sense of belonging that makes the inhabitants and his family feel akin to residing in a familiar safe haven.

However, the benefits of living in a gated community are not limited to only a perceived sense of belonging or a false feeling of safety, rather the overwhelming advantages- physical and psychological that come as a result of it are marked and quite self-evident. In fact, by its very definition gated community living indicates an extremely tenable residential complex that restricts the movement of people through multiple access points. Usually comprising of one or two limited entry/ exit points, the gated community  requires inhabitants or visitors to flash their valid identifications at the security booth besides which there will be special amenities that restrict public use allowing for a ‘residents only’ access feature.

The pros and the not-so-obvious benefits

Let’s take a look at some of the seemingly obvious pros of gated community living and the not-so-obvious benefits that fall into the category of ‘wow, I never thought of that’-

An energetic, forever alive atmosphere

The fact with gated communities and even residential apartment complexes is that they bring people together and provide a sense of bonhomie while fostering brotherhood and promoting a close-knit atmosphere. What’s more, gated commune plotting projects nowadays amply accommodate for the need of having more leg space, thereby allowing co- inhabitants to pursue personal areas of interest and amusements (versus sardine packed residences that don’t allow for free unrestricted entertaining) besides which residents living in commune plotting projects tend to pursue hobbies and form groups naturally as a result of the inclusive, spacious and unrestrained expansiveness factor attributed to these sort of homes.

Getting from point A to point B

Now who would want to live in a distant, far flung, away from key junctions kind of a place? No one really, as each person requires travelling within the city for personal or work related purposes at all times. The plus with gated commune plotting projects is that facilities for public transport are usually located close by, sometimes within the project itself, besides which there are ample provisions for easy access to commercial work places and medical/ healthcare, school and grocery needs. The very basic premise of such a project is that it provides its residents convenience in every form.

Hence, venturing out and getting from point A to point B or even running errands is usually considered to be a breeze in gated commune plotting projects.

Sleep well for someone’s watching out for you

As mentioned earlier, the most significant feature with gated commune plotting projects is the feature of top-notch round the clock security provisions. It is customary to expect 2 to 3 layers of security besides which there are restricted entry/ exit points, making the gated community complex a relatively safer place to reside in. Additional security features such as digitally enhanced safety systems ensure that the spirit of gated community living is followed in word and in spirit.

Contribute to creating a happier society

Now this will require you to think a little differently, for this is the ‘wow, I never thought of that’ kind of point. In the case of gated community living, the spirit of sharing and giving is thought to be abundant and bountiful besides which it is regarded as a happier place to reside in. The overall effect this has on inhabitants, his family and the people he/she interacts with is that of satisfaction and a sense of fulfilment as one feels needed and wanted in a larger sense of the term. Basic needs having been met sufficiently well, living in such projects encourages people to spend more time on themselves and even with others, creating a happier person and a more conducive work life environment.
