Latitude Margaritaville Daytona Beach

Independent Assessment

Latitude Margaritaville Daytona Beach's legal 55+ age restriction under HOPA, its 3,763-home total, its May 2025 sellout date, and its private oceanfront beach club with shuttle service were independently confirmed across the developer's own materials and multiple independent real-estate sources. On the CDD question, genuinely conflicting information was found: at least one independent source states the community runs on HOA dues with no CDD assessment, while another describes an active CDD debt-service and operations-and-maintenance assessment structure. That conflict is presented directly rather than by picking a side, and is flagged as a priority item for buyers to resolve on the Volusia County tax roll for the specific parcel before finalizing a budget.

Who May Find This Community Appealing

Buyers who want deeded private beach access without paying oceanfront prices, who connect with the casual, tropical Margaritaville lifestyle branding, and who value airport proximity for regular travel, are the strongest fit for Latitude Margaritaville. Its fully built-out, mature amenity program also suits buyers who want everything operating and established rather than a community still ramping up its clubs and programming.

Homes, Builders & Development History

Latitude Margaritaville Daytona Beach was developed by Minto Communities under a licensed partnership with the Margaritaville lifestyle brand, on roughly 1,600 acres along the LPGA Boulevard corridor in Daytona Beach. Construction ran from 2018 through May 2025, delivering all 3,763 planned homes — a sellout roughly five years ahead of the community's original projected build-out timeline, which is treated as an independently corroborated indicator of strong buyer demand.

Current Pricing & Market Positioning

Resale pricing is reported roughly $355,000 to $775,000 depending on floor plan and lot, with more than 20 distinct floor plans represented in the resale market. Because the community sold out relatively recently, most resale homes are still comparatively new construction by Florida standards, and buyers should weigh that against the fact that all original buyers purchased in the same roughly 2018-2025 window, which can concentrate resale supply within similar timeframes.

New Construction vs. Resale Considerations

All purchases are resale as of the last update, following the May 2025 sellout. Because most homes date from 2018 onward, buyers get comparatively newer construction than at many other Florida 55+ resale markets, but should still budget for a full inspection and request the seller's HOA and any CDD-related payoff or assessment documentation.

Taxes, Insurance & Special Assessments

Homes here are subject to Daytona Beach's full city millage as well as Volusia County property tax, with average annual property tax reported near $4,625. As a genuinely coastal Volusia County location, homeowners insurance runs higher than inland Central Florida alternatives; get a property-specific quote early in the buying process. Whether a CDD non-ad valorem assessment also applies is unresolved — see the fee section above — and should be confirmed on the specific parcel's tax bill.

Community Layout & Lifestyle

The community leans deliberately into the Margaritaville brand — tropical decor, a casual, socially active culture, and regular live music and events at Latitude Town Square. Buyers who resonate with that ethos generally describe it as a genuine, lived-in asset rather than surface decoration; buyers who prefer a quieter, more traditional retirement atmosphere should visit in person before deciding, since the social tempo here runs livelier than at more conventional 55+ communities.

Shopping, Healthcare & Airport Access

The community sits along LPGA Boulevard in Daytona Beach, Volusia County, on Florida's east-central Atlantic coast. Daytona Beach International Airport is roughly five miles away. LPGA Boulevard is a significant east-west connector with signal-controlled community entrances; buyers should drive the corridor at different times of day to assess traffic before committing, since peak-hour congestion is real.

Age Qualification & Material Ownership Restrictions

Latitude Margaritaville Daytona Beach is independently confirmed as a legally age-restricted 55-and-older community operating under the federal 80/20 Housing for Older Persons Act (HOPA) framework. Buyers should still confirm current age-verification and occupancy-compliance procedures directly with the HOA.

Tradeoffs & Limitations

New construction is no longer available; all purchases are resale, without a builder warranty. There is no on-site golf course, though LPGA International's courses are nearby and separate. Whether a CDD assessment applies is not resolved in independent research — sources conflict — so buyers must confirm this directly rather than assuming either answer. The private beach club requires a scheduled shuttle rather than direct resident driving access, which matters for buyers expecting spontaneous beach trips. As a genuinely coastal Volusia County location, homeowners insurance runs higher than inland Central Florida 55+ communities.

Comparison With Nearby Communities

Latitude Margaritaville is on Florida's Atlantic coast and offers deeded beach-club access; it compares most directly to Del Webb Bexley as a similarly sold-out, resale-only, HOPA-restricted community built in a similar 2018-era timeframe, though on opposite coasts of the state.

Current Listings

A connected local agent can identify current resale inventory across the community's 20-plus floor plans and pull the specific parcel's Volusia County tax bill to resolve the CDD question directly.

Can I still buy new construction at Latitude Margaritaville Daytona Beach?

No. The community sold out all 3,763 planned homes by May 2025, roughly five years ahead of its original projected timeline. All current purchases are resales from previous owners.

Is Latitude Margaritaville Daytona Beach legally age-restricted?

Yes. It is independently confirmed as a legally age-restricted 55-and-older community under the federal HOPA 80/20 framework.

Does Latitude Margaritaville Daytona Beach have a CDD fee?

This is genuinely unresolved. Independent sources directly conflict — one describes the community as HOA-only with no CDD, another describes an active CDD assessment structure. Confirm directly on the Volusia County tax roll for the specific parcel before finalizing a budget.

Is there golf at Latitude Margaritaville Daytona Beach?

No on-site golf course exists within the community. LPGA International's courses are nearby but separate, requiring their own access and fees.
