You Don't Have to be a Parrot Head to Retire to Margaritaville

As the New Yorker explains in Retirement the Margaritaville Way, this active adult community was a logical step, "[g]iven the age of Buffett’s fan base, and the life style he’s hawking—as well as baby-boomer demographics... . The development in Daytona [Beach, Florida} was a joint project of Margaritaville Holdings and Minto Communities USA, the American branch of a builder based in Ottawa. In 2017, Minto had bought roughly two thousand acres of brush and swamp, about seven miles from the coast... [with] a plan to develop a retirement community there called Oasis. [which then] became Latitude Margaritaville, taking its name from Buffett’s breakthrough 1977 album...."  The article describes a number of features of the community and interviews with various residents.   And although you don't have to be a parrot head to retire to Margaritaville, you might have more fun if you are.
