I just read that you came through Hurricane Ian relatively unscathed. Congratulations. However, I'm not surprised. Delighted, yes. Surprised? Not so much.

Awesome! Thinking about retiring in a couple of years and may need to check out this community and its homes. Kudos

Thank-you for this video. We just toured Babcock Ranch last Sunday, after surviving Hurricane Ian and living in Cape Coral. We heard the homes had received no damage and are built higher above sea level. We saw a few model homes by one of the builders in a couple different locations, and then had one of the sales reps. take us to see a recently completed home. My husband noticed how different this home was constructed compared to the model homes, as in less than quality wood working and trim. We were told the houses usually take about 60-90 days to complete, and there are many in different stages of completion. We were told they had sold many houses since Hurricane Ian, and we felt the two sales reps. we spoke with had an indifferent air about them; i.e., we were even told if we didn't buy now, someone would for sure scoop up the very lot we were interested in anyway. Some of the models were no longer available, either. Many options that used to be offered are no longer, like pools. They used to be included, but since the pool builders could not guarantee a finished product by the time you were ready to close, you now have to pay for the pool yourself after your closing. Now that I've heard the information from the video about taxes, we for sure would not even consider buying here.

I agree with Zahir about being less car dependent. This community needs a trolley transport system to take residents downtown to restaurants and shopping and also to Publix. A jump on jump off trolley would be perfect to meet the residents needs. please consider!

great place to live, definitely worth visiting to see what this town has to offer.

Amazing, I Love it

Read the article u guys survived wanted to see it

All houses should be built like that in hurricane areas. It should be the standard building code

They built the houses 30 feet above sea level. Is the town near the beaches?

What happens when hurricanes lifts those panels. I would not want to be in the path.

All those thousands of solar panels an still don't generate enough power, so they burn natural gas. 10 to 15 years all those panels will be in a landfill. It's a great concept it survived Ian but it didn't have water push into it like Fort Myers an other area's did.

They should have put these solar panels on the homes instead of destroying a large area to make a solar farm. Solar panels do not look bad on homes. This now destroyed a piece of land could have been used as a park or to grow food. Not a good decision.

Builds sustainable city, but fills fields of solar panels, that sadly have a lifespan, hence will end in landfill, and shows footage of people shopping at a market receiving plastic shopping bags. #ItAllCounts #NiceIdeaInTheory

Him: "Lets build a less car dependent city focused on peoples health and the environment" Me: "Your still building suburbs and nonflexible zoning..." sad face.
