Unexpected Benefits of Living in a Private Gated Community

Private gated communities like Saguaro Ranch offer a variety of benefits that attract many prospective home buyers to our real estate development in Tucson. There are many obvious advantages of living in a private gated community, such as greater security and more privacy. However, if you are still on the fence about joining a gated community, you may need to hear a few more benefits that are less apparent before you make your decision. 

What is a Gated Community?

A gated community is a neighborhood or subdivision with extra security. It typically has one entrance point that requires special access (such as a code or checking in with an attendant). Saguaro Ranch is a gated community, meaning that there is virtually no public access. This is one of the main appealing features of our community of luxury homes. 

Unexpected Benefits of Living in a Private Gated Community

Better Sleep

It may not be the first thing you think of, but generally speaking, you will sleep better when you live in a private gated community. A big part of this is because there is significantly less traffic — when the general public can’t access the roads, there are very few cars or trucks (beyond your neighbor’s occasional Amazon packages). Private gated communities in Tucson are simply quieter. Not only that, the increased security can leave you feeling safe, making it easier to catch some z’s. 

At Saguaro Ranch, our luxury real estate community is 1,100 acres, 80 percent of which will remain as undisturbed desert. This means that it is an especially quiet gated community. 

Better Neighbors

At the end of the day, gated communities aren’t about who you let out; it’s about who you let in. Saguaro Ranch offers a wonderful sense of community because there are many opportunities to connect with other residents in our Owners Club. 

It has a world-class lap pool and spa, fire pits, recreational areas (such as two pickleball courts, horseshoe pits, and bocce ball court), a workout facility and so much more. Not to mention we have miles of private biking and hiking trails — perfect for exploring with a neighbor or couple you met down by the pool. There are ample opportunities to meet your neighbors and build community here. 

Better Relationships

Private gated communities can be particularly impactful for families. This is because the peace of mind granted by the privacy and security of the community mean that your children can safely explore their home without you needing to worry. There are ample opportunities to connect with your family when you live in a gated community like Saguaro Ranch. This, in turn, improves your connection, leading to healthier and happier family relationships all around.
