Green living and sustainable energy sources are the way of the future. Babcock Ranch brings that all to life as America’s first solar-powered town.

Homes here are energy-efficient and built with sustainable and top-quality materials.

Why live in Babcock Ranch?

During some of Florida’s unpredictable weather and power outages, hope and comfort can be found here. The community was created to accommodate the Florida climate and was built 25 to 30 feet above sea level to reduce flooding during storms. It also features sustainable water and sewage systems, and all-electric and phone lines are buried.

Benefits of going solar at the community level

Living in Babcock Ranch and going solar has many benefits, including reduced energy bills, improved property value, and it’s better for the environment.

Some of the environmentally friendly features of the community include an 870-acre solar farm and solar tree charging stations.

Embrace a healthy lifestyle

The Babcock Ranch community is designed to help residents live their happiest and healthiest lifestyles. It's located adjacent to an extensive wilderness preserve, and features over 50 miles of hiking and bike paths, greenways and lakes great for exploring the outdoors solo or with friends and family.

Located in the heart of the community is Lee Health's wellness facility, where you can access a number of different health services, including visiting your family doctor, seeing a physical therapist, working out or taking educational health classes. An Urgent Care facility is coming soon near the south entry to Babcock Ranch, and a new hospital is in the works at the southern border of the community in Lee County.
