Safety & Security

Chateau Lake San Marcos Homeowners Association takes community safety seriously.  While our community is gated with vehicular gates, we still contract with Lake San Marcos Security Patrol to provide security services to our community.  As a member and resident of The Chateau, you are automatically a member of Lake San Marcos Security Patrol and entitled to the benefits, which include daily wellness check calls, in unit assistant for urgent or emergency needs, a phone dialer service to call for assistance (equipment fee applies), and frequent patrols of the residential buildings and exterior common areas to ensure community safety. 

Entry Gates:
Front gates are controlled entry for all vehicles.  Each resident is provided a gate remote (deposit Required) that will open the gates for them.  Entry codes are also available for residents to provide to family or other guests for gate entry.  All other visitors may use the gate entry panel to call for entry. 



Speed Limit is a maximum of 10 MPH while on the property.  All drivers, including golf carts, must be licensed and all vehicles properly registered and insured to be parked or operated within the community. 

 

Automated Building Door Access:
All building entry doors are controlled by an automated locking system.  Building doors automatically lock every night at 10pm and unlock each morning at 6am.  For afterhours building access, each resident is provided a special key FOB or key card that will open the doors to their building. This special key FOB is passed down through escrow. 

Fire Protection Systems :
All buildings within the community are protected by an extensive fire protection system.    This includes fire sprinklers in all common areas and condominiums, smoke detectors in common areas, automatic fire doors, and sirens in all areas including condominiums.   The local fire department is automatically dispatched immediately when a fire alarm is triggered.  All building alarms are tested monthly and inspected annually by the state for certification. 

Each residential unit should always be equipped with a smoke detector and CO detector.
