Staten Island Gated communities - Staten Island Houses for Sale

Gated communities are popular in Staten Island, New York. One reason is because there is no "through traffic." The gate puts a stop to cars zipping through using your local streets as a short cut. This makes Staten Island gated communities safer for kids walking or riding their bikes to the neighbor's house, the playground, or to catch the schoolbus. Gated communities can be safer from crime, too. Exactly how safe depends on whether there is a guard at the gate or not. Unguarded gates are relatively easy to get past for the enterprising criminal. For the impatient individual, a gated community may be a poor choice. Whenever a serviceman makes a repair call or the pizza comes within the allotted thirty minutes, you will have to check in with the guard or buzz them in. On the strong side, gated communities normally exhibit a strong pride of ownership. Home values hold up very well. Just don't buy a house right next to the gate. Purchase a home as close to the center of the neighborhood as possible.
