The Gates isn't its own master-planned community — it's an exclusive, gated enclave within EastLake Woods, built around 64 custom homesites on generous lots in the hills.
Because it sits inside one of EastLake's newer hillside neighborhoods, homes here tend to combine the custom-estate feel of a private enclave with the conveniences of a fully built-out master plan just outside the gate.
Worth knowing: The Gates is a gated enclave within EastLake Woods, not a separate community — but it's distinctive enough (and asked about often enough) to earn its own page here.
