The Lifestyle

Trails, Parks and Getting Around

Golf Cart Paths

Trails and golf cart paths connect the neighborhoods to each other and to the schools, and a cart is genuinely a second vehicle here.

Parks

The master plan puts parks inside the neighborhoods rather than at the edges, and MidTown alone carries six of them along one green corridor.

Schools Inside the Town

Babcock Ranch has its own schools within the community, which is not typical for a master plan still this early in its build out.
