Cuisine at the Commons

Want to switch things up for dinner? From Taco Tuesday to Pizza night, Crescent B Commons has you covered with a variety of restaurants for lunch, Friday nights out, and everything in between.

Nurture a Connection with Nature

Being outside helps people feel happier and more attuned to their bodies. At Babcock Ranch, you’ll live surrounded by the splendor of wild Florida. Explore our nature trails, kayak on Lake Babcock, or spend an afternoon working in the community garden.

The Corner Market

SLATER’S GOODS & PROVISIONS is our neighborhood market, offering fresh produce, a salad bar, wine and a farm-fresh breakfast menu and more. If you’re craving caffeine or something sweet, CUP A JOE @ CURRY CREEK OUTFITTERS and SQUARE SCOOPS ice creamery are steps away, and the nearby LAKE HOUSE KITCHEN + BAR offers residents a relaxing lakefront dining experience.

Outstanding Education Close to Home

Babcock Neighborhood School offers a “greenSTEAM” education that integrates Science, Technology, Engineering, the Arts and Mathematics for grades K-8. Focusing on local landscape, history, culture, and context encourages students to explore the world around them.

The Power of Parks

Play is incredibly important to social and physical development, for children and adults alike. From playgrounds to parks (and dog parks!), Babcock Ranch neighborhoods have access to good old-fashioned places for families to get outside and enjoy fresh air. And there’s so much more to come.

A Solar-Powered Hometown

We’re proud to be America’s first solar-powered town. Babcock Ranch houses an 870-acre solar farm operated by Florida Power & Light. Producing renewable energy at a utility scale empowers residents to minimize their environmental footprint at no additional cost.

The solar trees in Founder’s Square and neighborhood parks are an innovative combination of technology, functionality, and art. They serve as charging stations for residents to power their handheld devices and act as a focal point for renewable energy education.

Summer Camp in Your Backyard

Welcome to the Lake Timber Lodge, one of our amenities for residents only. The Lodge offers a lake house feel with its rustic-chic decor that residents relish, along with a refreshing swimming pool and pool deck. The screened-in porch creates a tranquil escape, perfect for relaxing with a good book on a quiet afternoon.

The Lake Timber Lodge features a zero-entry pool and playground. Located at the southwestern edge of Lake Timber in a parklike setting, the Lodge and surrounding property offer stunning serene views of the lake. The shoreline has a fishing dock that’s visited by herons, egrets, pelicans, other wild birds, and turtles. A paved path winds through the property for walkers, birdwatchers, runners, and bicyclists.

Much is Here, and More is Coming

As Babcock Ranch continues to grow, so will the array of shopping, dining, entertainment, recreation, healthcare and services close to home. 6 million square feet of purposefully planned retail and commercial will serve residents’ daily needs. Additional schools, more award-winning builders and integrated transportation will strengthen the foundation we have created for a balanced and better life.
