How to Make a Gated Community Estate For Home Owners

Expert Author Andrew Karundu

In developing homes in a given environment, sharing facilities is economical for several houses. This facilities are built to be used by say twenty home owners. This maybe a swimming pool, club house, boundary wall, stand by generator, over head storage tank and access roads. The developer uses say twenty acres of land subdivided into a half acre each to accommodate a unit. This units are then surrounded by a main boundary wall along the big parcel of land.

The gated community home owners have access to the club house comprising of a gym, swimming pool, children park, sauna and steam rooms. This will also have grounds for hosting say a birthday party. This club should be located on the most unusable part of the land. With proper landscaping, it can be turned into a superb grassed area for public use within the estate. This allows the home owners to have parties or gatherings within the estate but within a controlled environment.

The gated community homes are divided using short picket fences around each home. The design should allow a walking path between the boundary wall and homes. The picket fence on this part is much higher for privacy. The fence is done with hedges panted along the plot boundaries. The main boundary wall provides a secure environment for the home owners. This allows only a single access to the estate. The gated access has security personnel to restrict access into the estate.

The community estate houses are designed similar to keep the same language of planning. The houses can be done Internet ready, and with intercoms for communication with gate. For entertainment, satellite dishes can be mounted on each home for the owner to subscribe to channels offered by the dish company. The units are served by a drive ways and walkways within the estate. The roads have street lighting including the boundary wall. With artistic planning, community estates bring people together but within their own private homes.
