Even gated communities that do not have golf courses typically feature a central clubhouse offering events and parties for residents throughout the year. These clubhouses function as a community center, offering a great place for you to meet your neighbors and have a great time in a safe and relaxed environment.      Other amenities typically found in Naples gated communities include community pools, fitness centers, and athletic facilities. Depending upon the community that you choose, you may have a gym available to you, tennis courts, basketball courts, or even a baseball or soccer field. And because these communities are gated, public access to these facilities is greatly limited. This means that you can enjoy your local park or time in your community pool with your neighbors without having to fight large crowds or worry about the safety of yourself or your children. Gated communities also offer an added level of protection for your home. Usually requiring a security code or access from an on-site guard, it's much harder for unauthorized people to get to your home in a gated community. This means less solicitation, less fear of a break-in, and a greater sense of security when your kids play in your front yard.
