What makes a Top DALLAS Real Estate Selling Agent or Broker in the Dallas, Frisco, Plano, Carrollton, Lewisville and surrounding areas!
In cities and suburbs from New York to Los Angeles, wealthy homeowners no longer are the only ones retreating
behind gates. The desire to lock out the outside world cuts across all income groups, according to the
first Census Bureau survey to measure how many Americans live in walled or gated communities.
In a nation still grabbling with post-9/11 jitters, living in a gated community and knowing your neighbors creates a
safety zone for many. Security is also a top concern for baby boomers as they head toward retirement.
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 notes that approximately 40% of new homes in California
are behind walls. Today, most subdivisions approved by Palm Beach County, Fla., are gated.
Homeowners in the DALLAS area feel these luxury communities provide a safe environment for children and to
live among people who share their values. And other property owners, feel that a gated community
provides a way of protecting the value of homes, the biggest investment for most Americans.
