I sincerely doubt there are many gated communities that are even a two-hour walk from end to end. For the record, the largest one in the US is hot springs in Arkansas, at just under 40 sq-mi making it at around 6x6 miles, and it is not a wealth-exclusive area, having a pop of around 8000 with a meadian household income of a little over 40k. It has a median age of 67 (yep, retirement villa) over half the pop is 65+
But if you're talking about commuting in from a neighboring city/town, it's more. A 2-hour commute isn't so unbelievable. 20 min walk to the bus, 20 min wait, 20 min walk from the bus - that's 1 hour already. (For example, I did this.)
Also DK was talking about more than a community, but a town. And thus it'd have to be far enough from the other "poor" town.
Question about starting a city in the US. Also a survey

I prefer naturally mixed cities

Many of us do, though we typically have different ideas of ideal mix

If it's a "city", then you can't own it. If you own it, then it's not a city, it's a gated community
