Community maintains momentum, marks 800 home sales

BABCOCK RANCH — The pandemic has done little to slow down the sales momentum at Babcock Ranch, a community in Charlotte and Lee counties billed as America’s first solar-powered town.

The community, northeast of Fort Myers on Babcock Ranch Road/State Road 31 and developed by Kitson & Partners, surpassed 800 new homes sold in late August. The community reached 700 homes sold two months ago, according to a statement, and recently earned a spot on RCLCO Real Estate Advisor’s Top 50 list, ranking No. 39 among the country’s top-selling master-planned communities.
