These days we are seeing some gated communities as the new developments try to cater to the demand, but this is only a small percentage.

Gated homes are actually much more common. Since most properties in Wickenburg are on larger lots with acreage it is common for a property to be fenced with a gate. These gates are usually controlled with a conventional garage door opener. These fenced and gated properties may offer the same characteristics you are looking for in a gated community, and they are much easier to come by around Wickenburg.
