Most include shared amenities, a garden, a clubhouse, sometimes a pool, maintained through fees that every resident pays into through the owners' association. In Bengaluru it covers everything from an apartment tower on its own compound to a large villa layout with internal roads of its own, so the term describes how a place is bounded and managed, not its size or style. We note whether a home sits inside a gated layout, since that shapes daily life, not just the amenity list.
