Gated Neighborhoods | Vibepedia

Gated neighborhoods, also known as gated communities or walled communities, are residential areas with strictly controlled entrances and exits, often characterized by a closed perimeter of walls and fences. Gated neighborhoods have a long history, dating back to ancient civilizations such as the Romans and the Chinese. The modern concept of gated communities emerged in the 1960s and 1970s in the United States, particularly in California and Florida.
