Welcome to Babcock Ranch: the hometown of the future. Powered entirely by 700,000 solar panels across 840 acres of land in sunny Florida, Babcock Ranch is an innovative town that combines everything Americana with the technologies of tomorrow: electric-powered ice cream trucks, city-wide WiFi, expansive public green spaces, and the comfort of being part of a community.
