This guide walks you through the clubs, activities, and everyday social life at The Oasis so you can picture how your weeks might look. Let’s dive in.
Why The Oasis stands out
You’ll find an established, gated 55+ community of about 1,158 homes with a lively clubhouse at its core. Public descriptions note a roughly 22,000–22,500 sq. ft. clubhouse, plus outdoor spaces that make gathering easy, from pool and spa to courts and an amphitheater. You also have direct lifestyle ties to golf because The Oasis sits next to the Menifee Lakes Country Club.

How to plug in quickly
Use this simple checklist to get connected fast:
- Check the public Clubs page and Events Calendar. Start with the HOA’s Clubs page and schedule, then look for contacts in the Easy Livin newsletter.
- Request a resident login after you buy. A resident account unlocks additional calendars, forms, and club info. Use the HOA’s resident account help page.
- Reserve space or start something new. To launch a group or book a room, follow the HOA’s Clubhouse Room Request process and confirm capacity, availability, and any AV rules with staff.
- Try a low-commitment event first. Bingo, an open-court pickleball session, or a Book Club meetup are easy ways to meet people and get on club lists.
- Volunteer. One-time events and service groups often need help, which is a great way to make fast connections and shape the calendar.
Costs and what to verify
- Club and event fees: The HOA maintains the facilities. Individual clubs and special events may collect small dues or per-event fees. Confirm with the specific club contact listed in the newsletter.
- HOA assessments: Public listing snapshots show monthly HOA amounts vary by property, with recent examples in the approximate $240–$330 range. Use this as a rough reference and verify the current amount and inclusions with HOA management or your listing agent. See a recent example on this public listing snapshot.
- Rules and guest policies: The HOA’s Rules and CC&Rs govern clubhouse use, guest eligibility, and age verification. For accurate, current details, check with management or review the HOA’s clubhouse and forms page.
Social life is good for well-being
Staying socially connected can support both mental and physical health. Public health guidance notes that strong social ties can reduce risks linked to isolation in older adults. For a helpful overview, see the CDC’s summary on social connectedness and risk factors.
