A private right of way is given when land is not otherwise accessible from a public street. Yes, it can be very important to have access for your land, and it may also be required for a building permit. Some zoning codes require each building lot to have "frontage" on a public way, and because you only have a private way, you would have to "donate" your private way to become a public way (dedicated to the public) before you could get a building permit.
What's fun is that YOUR right of way crosses someone ELSE'S land, so you'd have to figure out who is going to compensate the neighbor for donating a chunk of his land to the public (the right of way) so you could build a house on your land...
There are other reasons this could be important, depending upon how you use the land, how far it is from the public streets, and whether there is a closer street. For example, you could have a right of way only for the purpose of removing forest and agricultural products. If you want to put in a wind farm, you would need to purchase an additional right.

Are gated apartment complexes private property?
An apartment complex is almost always private property, with or without a gate or fence, owned by the landlord, or jointly if they are condos. Even if it is owned by the municipality, there may also be a fence or gate and access is restricted to residents and their visitors, although it is not technically "private" property. As part of the subdivision or cluster housing plans, the private apartment complex developer may have also given "dedicated ways" to the municipality, for purpose of access by emergency vehicles and other services. If that is the case, one could argue that such streets must be open to the public, even though they are still "private property". Consider, for example, that a shopping mall, and its parking areas, is also "private property", but open to the public, subject to private rules.
