Gated Community List for the Triangle- Updated 12/2008

I have had several requests for a "Gated Community List" in the Triangle so I thought I'd publish the list for those that are interested. The Triangle are is not known for having many gated communities. Most of these communities are small and elite neigbhorhoods. For your reference here are the details and some photos to go along with the post.

In 1996 Cary and Carrboro passed ordinances banning gated communities. They were approved because of concerns that such communities were exclusionary and that they could delay the responses of fire trucks and ambulances.

Some of these communities have gaurds and others have electronic code access.
