If you desire the peace of mind that comes with knowing your home is within a guard-gated community, then there are only a few of options: Ocean Hills, The Colony, and The Oasis. While many senior communities provide remote-controlled gate access, Ocean Hills, The Colony, and The Oasis provide on-site security guards who screen visitors and vendors. This is a rare service in southern California senior communities – a service that I value – and one reason why I specialize in the Ocean Hills, The Colony, and The Oasis communities.
