From the start, Babcock Ranch was thoughtfully designed to help all residents live their happiest, healthiest life. With parks and trails for outdoor adventures, solar energy powering a greener lifestyle, and a true town center to meet friends for dinner, see your doctor, or walk to the corner store. From growing families to empty nesters, you’ll find everything you need to create the life you’ve always wanted.
Our Core Initiatives guide our actions as we build a community that grows with you, not just around you. Here’s how we’re creating a hometown that will thrive for generations:
The Living Lab | Education and Innovation
We understand that in today’s world, people’s digital needs are constantly changing. With an eye on the future, Babcock Ranch has invested in innovative technologies that work together to offer a sustainable and fully connected lifestyle:
- 1-gigabit fiber optic internet is standard in every home, making it easier than ever to work from home, stream HD movies, or stay connected with long-distance loved ones.
- Babcock Ranch is America’s first solar-powered town—Florida Power & Light operates an 870-acre solar array that powers the community, and a cutting-edge 10 MW backup battery system ensures there’s no shortage of renewable energy on the few cloudy days we get in Florida.
- We offer best-in-class education at Babcock Neighborhood School and Babcock High School, where students thrive in a Green STEAM model that integrates Science, Technology, Engineering, the Arts, and Mathematics.
A World of Wellness | A Healthier, Happier Lifestyle
Consider Babcock Ranch your all-access pass to the very best of Florida living.
Our ample parks, lakes, and trails encourage a deeper connection with nature and make it easy to live an active outdoor lifestyle. Just minutes from home, Lee Health’s Healthy Life Center offers a new standard of community healthcare right in Founder’s Square.
And soon our newest phase, Midtown, will offer residents a 3.5 mile linear park with incredible public spaces to exercise with friends, hang with neighbors at the dog park, celebrate birthdays, and find new, enriching ways to connect with your community.
From outdoor activities to community connectivity and world-class health services, we’ve got you covered.
Life of the Party | Events, and Entertainment
There’s always something going on at Babcock Ranch. Founder’s Square hosts a fantastic array of community events that are fulfilling for the whole family. Weekend activities include food trucks and live music, art shows and farmers’ markets, 5Ks, and sports tournaments.
Whether you’re ready to relax and unwind or to start an exciting new chapter in life, Babcock Ranch’s vibrant lifestyle is calling your name.
Come see for yourself, we love visitors! Our Discovery Center is open from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. Monday-Saturday and 11 a.m. to 5 p.m. on Sunday.
