55+ Paradise Coming to Daytona Beach Florida

In case you don’t know, we’re big fans of Minto Communities for more than 30 years. Now Minto has teamed up with Jimmy Buffet branding some of the most interesting new active senior living communities in the southeast. “I'd rather die while I'm living then live while I'm dead” and “if we weren't all crazy, we'd just go insane.” Buffet’s focus on a happy attitude is just what today’s overworked baby boomers are screaming for. An affordable tropical-themed community with swaying palm trees, steel drum music and frozen drinks with umbrellas. Where fun and relaxation are an every day way of life. We’re confident this will quickly become one of the best retirement communities in FL.

Latitude Margaritaville communities currently under construction in Daytona Beach, Florida and Hilton Head, South Carolina are created by a unique partnership. Homes at the Daytona Beach location are expected to be priced from the low $200’s. Models will be available to tour in early 2018. The retirement community is conveniently located just west of Interstate 95. Within 15-20 minutes, residents can be cruising on the beach in their car. Yes, a beach club is planned. The location in Hilton Head will be built on the west side of town, not far from Del Webb’s Sun City. We will keep you posted on their progress.

Margaritaville provides the inspiration of the legendary music and lifestyle of singer, songwriter and best-selling author Jimmy Buffett. And the experience to bring the vision to life comes from Minto Communities, a name that has represented integrity, financial strength and enduring value for 40 years.

Minto has won numerous awards for green building and energy efficiency. Latitude Margaritaville homes will be rated by the Home Energy Rating System (HERS) index, the industry standard by which a home's energy efficiency is measured. Our homes are on average 30% more energy efficient than a standard new home, and 60% more energy efficient than a typical used home, based on national averages determined by the US Department of Energy. This results in reduced annual home ownership costs, a lower carbon footprint, and greater comfort for our homeowners. Our homes in Daytona Beach will be built using all block construction and meet the latest building codes, ensuring safety and enduring value for years to come.
