Gated communities are residential areas where access is restricted to

residents and their guests, often controlled by gates, security personnel, or access codes. These communities are designed to provide a sense of security, exclusivity, and sometimes additional amenities like parks, common areas, and potentially recreational facilities.

Although gated communities may not be as prevalent in Rhode Island as in some other states, they do exist and offer various types of residences, such as single-family homes, townhouses, or condominiums.
