There are quite a few gated communities in houston, and the amount of available Houston Texas land for sale and the amount of land Montgomery County has for developers to work with, it is likely that more of these communities will pop up as time goes by. One of the perks to communities are the restricted access that protects residents from unwanted guests in the area, and they are common when a community has shared amenities such as a tennis court, a child playground, a marina, a club house, a pool or any other type of community center.

The concept of living as a group behind a gated community stems from medieval trends, when most communities would erect large castle or fortress walls to keep people from other kingdoms out of their community. Today, the risk of castle siege is pretty minimal, as modern neighborhood siege is extremely rare. The Houston area in particular is concerned with taxes, since non farm employment tax rose 2.5 times faster between September of 2011 and September of 2012 than the rest of the nation, currently resting at 3.7 percent.
