Tampa, FL (July 22, 2022) — Minto Communities USA, announces that four of Minto’s five master-planned communities have been named on the prestigious RCLCO Top 50 Master-Planned Communities list. The list ranks the 50 top-selling master-planned communities in the U.S. based on sales activity midway through 2022.

The Minto communities that are included on the list are Latitude Margaritaville Daytona Beach in Daytona Beach, Florida; Latitude Margaritaville Watersound near Panama City Beach, Florida; Latitude Margaritaville Hilton Head in Hardeeville, South Carolina, and Westlake in Palm Beach County, Florida. The Latitude Margaritaville communities in Daytona Beach and Watersound tied for the 23rd spot on the list. Westlake ranked at number 31 and Latitude Margaritaville Hilton Head ranked at number 39.

Latitude Margaritaville communities are being developed by master developer and homebuilder Minto Communities and global lifestyle brand Margaritaville. Inspired by the lyrics and lifestyle of singer, songwriter and best-selling author Jimmy Buffett, this dynamic, all-new approach to active adult living has captured the imagination of today’s vibrant and active 55-and-better home buyers who are growing older, but not up.

Latitude Margaritaville communities offer cottages, villas and single-family homes starting in the high $200s as well as world-class resort amenities and an active lifestyle built on the four pillars of fun, food, music and escapism. Over 550,000 prospective homebuyers are registered as Latitude Margaritaville Paradise Club members to receive regular updates on the communities. Due to the popularity of the brand, Latitude Margaritaville will be expanding into several major metropolitan markets within Texas in the near future.

Westlake is located in Palm Beach County’s newest city by the same name. Minto Communities is the master developer and primary homebuilder of Westlake, and is approved to build 4,500 homes and more than two million square feet of non-residential space in the 3,800-acre master-planned community. The Westlake Adventure Park amenity includes a lagoon-style pool with waterslide, splash pad, poolside concessions, BMX pump park, playground, expansive lawn area with concert pavilion and food truck court for community events, plus bocce ball courts and a dog park. Phase two amenity construction is underway and includes an adult lap pool, multi-purpose building and basketball courts. Minto offers townhomes, single-family homes and estate homes starting in the $400s in several neighborhoods within Westlake.

According to Minto Communities USA President Mike Belmont, Minto has had a record-setting year in 2022 with 1,158 sales year to date in their communities located in Florida and South Carolina, including 1,117 homes in the four communities recognized among the Top-50.

“Minto is honored to again have our communities recognized among the 50 master-planned communities in the U.S.,” says Belmont. “We continually strive to build upon Minto’s long-standing reputation for quality, innovation, value and customer satisfaction. Our continuing success is in great part attributable to our team of dedicated and seasoned professionals who share Minto’s commitment to providing an outstanding customer experience while meeting and surpassing the expectations of our homebuyers.”
