Who Each Is Right For
Choose Latitude Margaritaville if:
Beach lifestyle + Atlantic coast + airport at door
- Beach access is central to your retirement identity — the oceanfront club is the reason to be here
- The Margaritaville casual culture resonates — you've visited and felt at home
- Atlantic coast, I-95 corridor, Daytona area orientation
- Daytona Beach International at 5 miles is a major convenience for your travel patterns
- SFH ownership (fee simple) is preferred over condo
Choose Kings Point if:
Golf daily + lower insurance + 24-hr gate
- Daily golf — inclusion saves $300–$500+/mo vs. pay-per-play elsewhere
- Inland insurance rates — $2,000–$3,000/yr less than Volusia coastal
- 24-hour staffed gate — best gate security in the Tampa market
- 3 indoor pools — year-round lap swimming regardless of weather
- Lower entry price — $100K+ for condo vs LMV's $320K+ minimum
