Are you also attracted to the luxury and benefits that a gated community provides? What\u2019s stopping you then? Are they the most common myths spread amongst people around you about the gated communities? If your answer is yes, then you have landed on the right page. Go on and read about the most common myths about gated communities along with the true facts.<\/p>\n<p>A gated community is a form of a housing estate or residential community that is guarded and enclosed within walls or fences. If you are someone who fancies having a quiet life while still having access to all the modern facilities, then living in a gated community could be the right choice for you. The private community as such has its benefits, which make it a desirable choice of residence.<\/p>\n<p>So, to strengthen your belief in buying a property in gated communities, let\u2019s talk about the common myths and facts about gated communities!<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Myth_1_Congestion\"><\/span>Myth 1: Congestion<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>The first and foremost myth about the gated communities is the thought among people that gated communities are congested. People feel that gated communities are extremely crowded, with lots of people at every nook and corner. People perceive that the builders leave very little open spaces, as they want to derive the maximum profit from that area.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Fact_1_Gated_Communities_are_built_with_60-80_of_open_spaces\"><\/span>Fact 1: Gated Communities are built with 60-80% of open spaces<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>The reality, however, is completely contradicting the myth. The premium designers aim for a minimum of 60% open spaces with the motive of creating a peaceful, traffic-free and sun-kissed life for the people residing in the communities.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Myth_2_High_Maintenance_Costs\"><\/span>Myth 2: High Maintenance Costs<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>The second myth among the people about gated communities is that if they want to avail of all the benefits of the gated communities, they would have to render a huge sum as the maintenance cost.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Fact_2_The_maintenance_cost_of_communities_is_quite_reasonable\"><\/span>Fact 2: The maintenance cost of communities is quite reasonable<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>The reasonable developers hire third parties on a long-term contractual basis for maintaining the community which includes cleaning of the roads, pedestrian pavements, gardening, payment of the guards and security. This actually pools everything, and residents are actually benefitted from the price wars.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Myth_3_Privacy_Hindrance\"><\/span>Myth 3: Privacy Hindrance<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>The third myth of gated communities is privacy hindrance. People seem to get disturbed with the idea of several families staying together in a single building and feel that they would begin hindering each other\u2019s peace and privacy<strong>.<\/strong><\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Fact_3_Builders_give_priority_to_the_privacy_of_their_residents\"><\/span>Fact 3: Builders give priority to the privacy of their residents<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>The responsible and reputed builders design the layout of their communities keeping in mind the population density. Keeping this as a parameter, the open spaces are developed to promote both privacy and harmony.<\/p>\n<h3>Myth 4: Expensive<\/h3>\n<p>Since gated communities are associated with luxurious living, people relate that lifestyle to a very expensive one, assuming that only high-class people can afford such an expensive lifestyle.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Fact_4_It_is_budget-friendly\"><\/span>Fact 4: It is budget-friendly<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>The real estate companies have realized that people aspire for gated communities so they have started offering community lifestyle in various investment brackets.<\/p>\n<p>Having read about the facts clearly, the thought of buying a property in a gated community must have triggered in your mind right now. If yes, read on the points you should keep in your mind before purchasing a property in a gated community:<\/p>\n<h3>1. Prioritize your Budget<\/h3>\n<p>You should keep in mind to get your finances in shape before you purchase a property that exceeds your budget.<\/p>\n<h3>2. Note the builder\u2019s reputation<\/h3>\n<p>Take your own time in doing a bit of homework on the builder\u2019s reputation. Go through their previous projects, customer reviews to understand whether they are trustworthy enough. It is really important that you settle for a house with a reliable builder.<\/p>\n<h3>3. Survey the location &amp; property well<\/h3>\n<p>Make sure to do a tiny survey of the area around the area you have set your eyes upon. Make sure you know about the location\u2019s connectivity, neighbourhood, quality of living, etc.<\/p>\n<h3>4. Improve Your CIBIL Score.<\/h3>\n<p>Last but not least, if you are planning to apply for a home loan, keep a track of your CIBIL Score. Your CIBIL score plays a significant role in the loan application process.<\/p>\n<p>Keep these points in mind and you are all set!<\/p>\n<p>Gated Communities in India, according to common perception, symbolize wealth and security but these perceptions are not all-encompassing. There are more pros of community living than the cons. So, if you are planning to buy a property in the near future then it\u2019s time to reevaluate and keep your options open!<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Official Resources &#038; References:<\/strong> For verified information, visit <a href=\"https:\/\/rera.telangana.gov.in\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\">RERA Telangana<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/hmda.gov.in\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\">HMDA<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n<div style=\"background: #f8fafb;

Maintenance costs are spread across more residents making per-unit charges reasonable. The higher appreciation rate and rental premium of 15-20% over single towers typically justify the initial price difference.<\/p>\n\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div id=\"faq-question-3405-2\" class=\"rank-math-list-item\">\n<h3 class=\"rank-math-question \">What amenities do gated communities offer that single towers do not?<\/h3>\n<div class=\"rank-math-answer \">\n\n<p>Exclusive amenities include large landscaped gardens and jogging tracks, multiple swimming pools and sports courts, dedicated clubhouses with banquet halls, children play zones and creches, co-working spaces, commercial zones with convenience stores, amphitheaters for events, and pet-friendly zones that single tower buildings cannot accommodate.<\/p>\n\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Are you also one among those million people who dream about buying their own house in a gated community?
