Downsizing in Chandigarh: What's the real society life?

After the kids moved out last year, we finally decided it's time to downsize from our big house. Don't need such a huge place anymore, looking for something manageable in Chandigarh, maybe near a hospital. I'm checking places like Saini Bhawan. My main concern is, are the promised amenities actually useful? I mean, are clubhouses really used, or are they just showpieces? And those maintenance charges... do they genuinely reflect good service, or is it just for basic upkeep? We want a proper community feel, not just a building.
