acres with 15 miles of land along the
Intracoastal Waterway. That com-
pares to Florida’s well-known active-
adult community, the Villages, which
has 79,000 residents and covers ap-
proximately 20,500 acres.

“We’re fortunate that the St. Joe
Company already owns this land
on the Florida Panhandle, so we
have plenty of runway to build Wa-
tersound over the next 30 years,”
says Wiseman. “We can offer a wide
spectrum of housing options and
may include everything from apart-
ments to luxury housing in the fu-
ture.”

One benefit of a larger community
is that it provides more opportunities
for diversity, says Duffy Day.

“There’s no one-size-fits-all de-
sign for an active-adult community,”
says Day. “Some people thrive in a
big community with lots of activ-
ity, while others like being part of a
smaller community with more inti-
mate groups.”

More than 360,000 people are
registered as Latitude Margarita-
ville Paradise Club members, which
means they’ll receive information
about existing and planned commu-
nities.

“Demand exceeds the supply of
homes in Latitude Margaritaville
communities, so we expect to build
them in more locations in the Caro-
linas, Texas, Phoenix and Las Vegas,”
Wiseman says.

The average age of Latitude Mar-
garitaville residents is 63, with an es-
timated 10 percent to 15 percent still
