Queens ones: There's a tiny condo community with a big old wall around it on the corner of Winchester Blvd and Hillside Ave in Bellerose. It's barely noticeable because it's on the same block as the also-gated Creedmoor campus, though separate. There's also another one maybe half a mile north on the same road, right after the sanitation depot in Douglaston. A third one I can think of is in a semi-one, in Bayside, there's a strange little neighborhood with no sidewalks, narrow streets and big houses. They have two little makeshift gate-thingies off of Bell Blvd, though the other entrances to the hood from the side streets don't seem to be gated at all.
The highest estimate I saw is that 6% of American households live in gated communities. The New York City metro does has gated communities, but I'd file them under "virtually non-existant" as well. Even suburban Long Island doesn't have that many, mostly concentrated on the north shore of Nassau, that's it. I've never met one person who lived in one here, but I do know people from here who moved to one in Florida or Arizona.
What we do have in NYC are buildings with doormen, however.
Bayside gables?? Very small compared to Breezy Point, Roxbury, Sea Gate, Silver Beach, and Edgewater.
Nope. Drove around there a while back. Sometimes feels like it though.
