There are a good number of HOA developments and it would be unusual for one of those not to have at least a swimming pool/spa. There is a good choice of retirement communities that have their own recreation amenities. Several mobile home developments seem to attract the retired folks with "clubhouse' activities, etc. Best bet is to consult a knowledgeable realtor about what might best meet your needs.
MOST developments in recent years cater to those who don't want a large yard to care for, especially since water conservation dictates not having a lot of foliage and lawn to maintain. But MOST lots in the area are in the neighborhood of a quarter acre. Older homes tend to have larger lots and those in the irrigated area of the valley have more greenery and less gravel and rock.
