The impact of gated communitieson property valuesEvidences of changes in real estate markets(Los Angeles, 1980-2000)Pretoria, Feb 28 - Mar 3, 2005 Renaud LE GOIX Université Paris 1 Panthéon Sorbonne Canyon Lake, Riverside County. 15 000 inhabitants live behind this fence, in a privateand gated community, which is also an independentmunicipality.
Introduction • Are gated communities and their private governance effort at risk because of market failures in the private provision of collective goods ?
Introduction • GCs have a cost (infrastructure and collective goods building and maintenance) • Efficiency of a GC = satisfaction of residents • Unsatisfied owners -> turn-over -> risk of urban decayand progressive loss of property values.
Introduction This paper aims at • assessing the impact of gates and walls on property values over time (1980-2000) • addressing if gated properties generate enough value to compensate the cost of private governance.

2 Inside the walls:price premium and homogeneity • Discrepancies: • not signif. : 75% • the richer the GC, the better the price premium; • Disadvantage for GCs in middle-class heterogeneous areas. • GCs more expensive than their neighbors ?
