On the Northeastern Florida Coast, Lush Halifax Plantation Boasts Single Family Homes, Town Homes, a Large Clubhouse, Tall Trees, a Golf Course and Nearby Beaches

North of Daytona Beach on the northeastern Florida coast, Ormond Beach, which received some flooding during Hurricane Milton in 2024, was once the home of John D. Rockefeller and is known for its long orange-tinted beach. It is also the site of Halifax Plantation, a large, serene community with everything from bunglaow style town homes to custom estate homes along lanes lined by palms and tall, century-old oaks and pines.

Amenities include the 25,000 square foot clubhouse, home to the fitness center, the elegant Tavern by the Green restaurant and the spacious Pub sports bar. Clay tennis courts and a junior Olympic-size swimming pool await outside.

The 18-hole golf course surrounds the clubhouse and was designed by Bill Amick. Residents also enjoy a driving range, a putting green and a chipping green with a sand trap.

The many tree-shaded paths throughout the community wind around lakes and ponds, inviting early morning walking and bicycling. Wine tastings, masquerade balls and seasonal celebrations are just a few of the planned activities designed to keep residents engaged.

Membership is required to access many of the amenities. Access to the golf course costs extra.

Florida:

Named Pascua Florida by Juan Ponce De Leon, the Sunshine State did not enter the Union until March 3, 1845. Balmy mild winters began attracting "snowbirds" to the state in the late 19th century, and retirees continue to flock to the state today. It's not hard to see why tourism has become Florida's leading industry.

International trade and citrus are also major contributors to the state's economy. Eighty percent of the nation's oranges and grapefruits are grown here, and 40 percent of all U.S. exports to Latin America flow through Florida.

Florida's landscape includes uplands and coastal plains. It contains more than 11,000 miles of waterways and about 4,500 islands.

Florida also has 1,045 golf courses, more than any other state in the Union. The 47 mile Pinellas Trail is the longest urban trail on the east coast. Orlando theme parks attract more visitors than any other theme parks in the U.S. The only place in the world where alligators and crocodiles co-exist is in National Everglades Park.

Is Everyone in a 55+ Community Really 55+?

Not everyone who lives in a 55+ community is age 55 or better. Generally, at least 80% of residents must be at least age 55 (and at least one occupant of each housing unit must be age 55), while the remaining 20% may be younger (but usually at least age 45). Children are allowed to visit but generally cannot stay more than two weeks at a time. It is also usually the case that older, more established 55+ communities have an older residential demographic.
