Gated community is a residential area that is basically surrounded by walls and can only be accessible by few small gates guarded by security guards and card access to avoid outsiders going inside.
Gated communities are conceived as closed settlements from their inception and are designed with the intention of providing security to their residents and prevent penetration by non-residents; their houses are of high quality and have services and amenities that can be used only by their residents.
A gated community is a residential community with well-established amenities whereas a standalone building is a free-standing building with no to zero amenities. If you are looking for an affordable housing option, a standalone building is your go-to choice.
