Additional Sarasota Gated Neighborhood Information

Sarasota Gated communities may be private or public communities. For example, University Place in Sarasota is a gated community with a gate attendant, however the roads are public roads, so the attendant may not refuse someone entry. The attendant may ask where a visitor is going, and may record the visitors license plate, however they attendant may not disallow entry.

On the other hand, the neighboring community of University Park is a private community, meaning the roads are not maintained by the county, and funds for road repairs are funded by the community itself. In these cases, the guard attendants can refuse entry to a visitor if the visitor is not pre-registered for arrival, or if the home owner that the visitor is coming to see is not home.

There are pluses and minus to both types of gated communities. Private communities offer additional security measures, however the homeowners fees are usually higher for private communities due to the addition expense of maintaining private roads.

Finally, there are gated communities in Sarasota that are not staffed with an attendant, and entry is controlled by a code or remote. These are also private communities, but choose not to staff the gate house.

Some gated communities have 24/7 live gate attendants who will greet every visitor before allowing entry to the community. Other communities may have a camera unit at the entry. When a visitor approaches the gate, a centralized call center is notified, and a virtual gate attendant can speak with the visitor over speaker unit located at the gate. Lastly, there are gates with no live or virtual attendants. Instead, all visitors must use a “call box” to access the owners name and call residents directly from the gate to gain access. Residents in all three gated community examples usually have a transponder that allows them to enter the community without any interaction with an attendant or call box.
