Latitude Margaritaville in Daytona Beach Named Most Popular Active Adult Community for 2018

CHICAGO, May. 30, 2018 /PRNewswire/ — Today, 55Places.com announced the 100 most popular active adult communities for 2018. Topping the list this year is Latitude Margaritaville in Daytona Beach, Florida, followed by On Top of the World in Ocala, Florida and Sun City Hilton Head in Bluffton, South Carolina.

To identify the most popular active adult communities in America for the past year, 55Places.com compiles various data points between May 2017 and April 2018, including unique pageviews, homebuyer inquiries, and community reviews.

After Minto Communities and Jimmy Buffett’s Margaritaville Holdings announced in February 2017 that Latitude Margaritaville would be the first active adult community to be inspired by Buffett’s music and lifestyle, interest skyrocketed quickly. No active adult community received more pageviews on 55Places.com during this timeframe and it received four times as many inquiries as any other community.

Florida was well-represented on the list with four communities in the top ten and eight in the top twenty. The Villages, which topped this list every year between 2013 and 2017, slipped to No. 7 overall. Solivita in Kissimmee followed right behind at No. 8. The only other state to land two communities in the top ten was New Jersey, with No. 6 Holiday City at Silverton and No. 10 Holiday City at Berkeley, both in Toms River. According to 55Places.com data, approximately one out of every three potential buyers who inquired about Holiday City at Silverton ended up purchasing a home.

“This year’s list of most popular communities is a testament to how much the active adult lifestyle is constantly changing,” said 55Places.com Chief Executive Officer and Founder Bill Ness. “Latitude Margaritaville is embracing the tropical vibe and laidback lifestyle made famous by Jimmy Buffett, which is in line with the growing need of new communities to stand out from the crowd.
