Margate is a city in Broward County, Florida, United States. As of the 2010 census, the city had a population of 53,284. Margate is part of the Miami metropolitan area, which was home to an estimated 6,012,331 people in 2015.
Margate was founded in the 1950s, when much of it was still either part of the Everglades or farmland. It then became a town in 1955, when land development became prominent due to an influx of people moving to Margate. In 1961, it was officially incorporated as a city. The name of the city itself is a portmanteau of the first three letters of the founder's last name, Jack Marqusee, and the first four letters of gateway, since it was considered a "gateway" to western Broward County. The city also has a waterpark called Calypso Cove, and two golf courses, with one of them also a tennis court as well: The Carolina Golf Club, and the Oriole Golf and Tennis Club.

Many caregiving facilities near Fort Lauderdale
There are lots of senior citizens in South Florida. They come here because the weather is warm a lot of them retire here a lot of them are in assisted-living independent living or memory care units. There are thousands of condos here that are 55+ age condos so everybody here is used to people that are but I guess you can call senior citizens.
This place is very friendly,because I'm a traveler caregiver,I always took my clients to the clubhouse to have fun.
I live in a mixed age community and have small children next door, love the diversity.
Any age can stay in my neighborhood.
