Gated housing estates in Lebanon may be differentiated as condominiums containing apartments, and gated model towns and villa complexes with dominantly single-family homes or terraced houses. The accommodation within these complexes is intended for use as main residences, but there are also several gated beach and mountain resorts and two gated ski villages, which mostly comprise secondary residences. All these projects combine common property with the individual property of a housing unit: respectively, the right to use an apartment or house with some kind of access limitation through gates, fences, or walls.
