Living in a gated community is a matter of personal taste but here at the beach in Gulf Shores, potential buyers (for the most part) aren’t particularly searching for neighborhoods or complexes that are gated.

I think most buyers search online for a property and when they find out that it’s gated, they don’t mind at all.  That’s what happened to me when I purchased a condo in Gulf Shores.  I do think that the pros outweigh the cons for having a gate at the entrance of your neighborhood.

Gulf Shores does have its share of gated communities.  So, for those who find this feature appealing, this article is for you.

All of the neighborhoods and condo complexes below have a gated entry.  Just click on any of the links below to find out more about that area and see the homes or condos that are for sale there.
