I have a custom post type called communities. Then I have the appropriate single-community.php page. Works great!

So we want to use some of these "communities" as parent pages. Then underneath them we'd have multiple child pages.

Can I have the parent pages use single-community.php and the child pages use single.php or something similar?

You can filter template_include and replace the single-community.php with a single-child-community.php.

Example

add_filter( 'template_include', function( $template ) {

    if ( ! is_singular() )
        return $template; // not single

    if ( 'communities' !== get_post_type() )
        return $template; // wrong post type

    if ( 0 === get_post()->post_parent )
        return $template; // not a child

    return locate_template( 'single-child-community.php' );
});
