Do gated communities exist in this area?
We see and hear about them all the time on tv and in other states, but what about the DC area? |

Not very common in Fairfax County, but there are a few, like Evans Farm and Maplewood in McLean. Both are small neighborhoods of expensive townhouses and single-family homes on small lots.

I live in one (not in the DC area). Love my house but HATE the GATE! It is ALWAYS malfunctioning and recently a neighbor had a chimney fire and the fire dept COULDN'T GET IN. (Obviously, it's an unmanned gate.)
Plus, the gate is left open from 8am to 5pm for workmen and deliveries -- so what's the point??? I rent, so I have no voice on the HOA. But if I did, I'd vote to remove it. |

Some people travel a lot, but have expensive home furnishings. They may take comfort from the additional security. |

They are not to keep outsiders out. They are to keep the assholes who live in them inside. |
