Guard / Gate Information, plus FAQs
Oakwell Farms is a gated community with controlled access. We use registered and secure RIFD tags for all resident vehicles for gate access. DwellingLIVE is the system that is used by the gate security to determine visitor and security access. In addition, a security company is contracted to provide a 24/7 Security Officer at our main North Gate. See the Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs) / Answers and OWF Map below.

ALL commercial vehicles, delivery trucks, trailers, and guest passes are required to ONLY enter through the visitor lane at the main North gate (#1)
Entry and exit through the South Gate (#2) is permitted ONLY for those with an active remote/RFID. All traffic at both gates is monitored and recorded for safety purposes. NOTE: If you have a valid RFID Tag, the South Gate is available 24 x 7.
For anyone using Apple maps, the address to the main North gate (#1) is 1807 Oakwell Farms Parkway. This address will take guests to the North Gate guard, who will admit them and give them further directions if needed.
5/23/2025 SOUTH GATE UPDATE:
When exiting through the South Gate, a Fire Department vehicle damaged the South exit gate. The damage was significant and repairs are likely to require the gate to be inoperable for an extended period. Since the gate must remain open, we will be posting a guard 24/7 at that location to prevent unauthorized pedestrian or vehicle entry through the open gate. We appreciate your patience and we regret any inconvenience. We will update you on the status of repairs once more information becomes available.
