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.

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.
