There are private golf course country club communities to the age restricted over 55 communities, too.

Listed below are homes for sale and vacant build able lots for sale that have the additional offering of 24 hour manned security for safety and privacy. These manned gates and guarded neighborhoods may offer the home owners additional amenities such as: parks, nature trails, horseback riding stables, skeet/trap shooting, swimming pools, tennis courts, golf courses, fishing ponds, clubhouses, community centers and sports courts. Build able lots are for sale in many of these subdivisions.

Residents may prefer to live in security guarded communities because of privacy and security reasons. Other reasons are traffic and speeding cars are also reduced behind the gates, making it quieter and safer for children to play and ride bicycles. Those that don't belong, such as solicitors will have a more difficult time bothering residents.

With fewer gated communities and the further exclusivity of 24 hour guarded communities, fewer homes within these neighborhoods typically are available for sale at any given time, making the fewer homes for sale more desirable than similar homes outside of gated/guarded subdivisions. There is also a social benefit to living behind the gates of a gated and especially a guarded subdivision, such as a golf country club atmosphere or community events that promote activities for the residents to get to know each other.
