Moved here a year ago with the same problem. The issue is not the water pressure because that is controlled in the community. The issue is the flow. I removed the restrictor valve ( a green ring). Bought a new shower head from hammacher.com item #97436 $69.95
Because our pipes have tapered ends this shower head is from Europe and they still use the straight line pipe connector I had to buy an adapter. Do not try to put a straight connector without the connector adapter. You will strip your pipe.You can find the adapter connectors on Amazon. It’s called:
Metal brass pipe fitting converter1/2g female-1/2 Npt male.it costs $12.99. Installed this in about 10 minutes. Great pressure and flow just like the old days. Hope this helps.
