One reason I would be unable to take advantage of amenities at a PUD with a pool is that I don't like being in the water with a bunch of screaming kids with colds, etc. Do any of these associations have for example hours when only seniors or adults can use the pool? Just wondering.

I have seen some with Adult Swim hours.
You would have to check with any specific community in which you have interest to see how they operate.
It would probably be a detail in the organization minutes or board rules, and it is probably not expressed in recorded covenants.

Join a gym or private pool. The kids's parents pay just as much as you do to use the amenities. Do you think it would be fair to have kids-only hours? Nope.

Varies association to association and likely depends on demographics within the HOA.

My association reserves 1.5 hours each morning and 10 minutes each open swim hour for adults.

Usage of the pool is also restricted for 1.5 hours each day for youth water sports/ lessons, swimming, diving and water polo.

Private swim clubs in the area and the public pool maintain similar hours and restrictions.

Magic78, I would have no problem with kids-only hours as long as there was supervision. For the other posters, thanks, I had no idea that there was a way to do that. I have nothing against kids, just realize that they have a different agenda. By that I mean they want to play, play, play, while some older folks either want to excercise or r-e-l-a-x quietly.

Out of curiosity, what does this have to do with a planned unit development? A PUD is a zoning amendment.

Uh, maybe I used the wrong term. Thought it meant planned urban development. What does it really mean? I was just referring to a development with common use facilities, rather controlled by the home owners association or by managers of the property.

A PUD often refers to an assemblage of land that is subdivided into various neighborhoods, with diverse housing styles and price points.
That PUD may then have a swimming pool which all PUD residents may use in exchange for their dues to the PUD.

It is not unusual for a homeowner in a PUD to pay 2 dues: one to his neighborhood association and one to the PUD association.

Not trying to harp but a Pud is a zoning amendment. A Mud is a mixed use development. Unless this is one of those things where your state says potato and mine says patater.

Kildaire Farms is one of the oldest PUDs around and their page describes how PUDs may be organized to take care of community amenities:
