This residential model has even attempted to extend its target not only to upper-middle and high socioeconomic groups, but also to lowermiddle and low income groups. However, this paper shows how living in gated communities is still related to social distinction and status. This article analyses the main characteristics of gated communities, who their residents are, their daily activities and interests as well as their relation with the city. It is concluded that gated communities are an important element of social distinction and belonging for some social groups. El aumento de la inseguridad urbana y la sensación de miedo ha impulsado el desarrollo de urbanizaciones cerradas en muchas ciudades latinoamericanas. Este modelo residencial ha intentado incluso extender su ‘target’ a no sólo residentes pertenecientes a los grupos socioeconómicos medio-altos y altos, sino también medio-bajos y bajos. Sin embargo, el presente articulo demuestra cómo vivir en urbanizaciones cerradas continua estando fuertemente relacionado a la idea de distinción social y estatus. Para esto se analiza cuáles son las características principales de las urbanizaciones cerradas, y quiénes son sus residentes, cuáles son sus actividades cotidianas y sus intereses y cómo se relacionan con la ciudad en general. Se concluye que las urbanizaciones cerradas son un importante elemento de distinción social y pertenencia para ciertos grupos sociales.
