My sister and I are looking to assist my father in finding a condo/co-op in Laguna Woods, Leisure World, or some other 55+ community within 12-24 months. He is 78 and completely competent for self care. (He even still works 30 hrs/week.) We have read some online reviews but are looking everywhere for information on these types of communities in Orange and San Diego counties . Both of us are in Florida and plan on going out to scout. At this point we want to get an idea of potential communities and pitfalls to watch for.

Specifically, what are the areas where these communities are like? Is management responsive? Do these communities seem vibrant? What are the tax implications in CA of condo vs co-op? (I'm familiar with the tax situation in NY) Are there other 55+ communities that may be better? We have a cap of approx. $175k and know that there are several units available in both of these. Any information, suggestions or opinions are be welcome.
