Sawgrass Lakes is a gated, pre-construction luxury neighborhood coming to Babcock Ranch's WestTown district from Pulte Homes and Toll Brothers. Here is what is confirmed, what is not, and what it costs to own. Sell or buy with McGreevy and Comisar.
Sawgrass Lakes is a gated, pre-construction luxury neighborhood planned for the WestTown district of Babcock Ranch in Punta Gorda, Florida, by Pulte Homes and Toll Brothers. It has not opened for sale yet. This page sets out exactly what the developer and the district have confirmed so far, exactly what has not been released, and what it costs to own a home at Babcock Ranch, so you can judge whether Sawgrass Lakes is worth waiting for rather than guessing at it.
Every fact in this section comes from Babcock Ranch's own neighborhood index or from Babcock Ranch district budget documents. Where something is a preview rather than a commitment, it says so.
Sawgrass Lakes is being developed by Pulte Homes and Toll Brothers together. That is unusual at Babcock Ranch, where most neighborhoods carry a single builder: Lennar at Tucker's Cove and Webb's Reserve, D.R. Horton at Palmetto Landing, Meritage at Crescent Lakes and Crescent Grove, Christopher Alan at Creekside Run. A two-builder neighborhood generally means a wider spread of floor plans and price points inside one gate, and two separate sales teams to negotiate with.
The developer places Sawgrass Lakes along Saw Palmetto Parkway in the WestTown district, and describes the site as elevated with lake and preserve views. WestTown is the fastest changing part of Babcock Ranch right now, and the section below on B Street and Curry Commerce Center explains why that matters for a buyer choosing between districts.
The developer's own tags for Sawgrass Lakes are Coming Soon, Single-Family, Gated, WestTown, and Luxury. The written description calls it a premier gated neighborhood with a sophisticated collection of luxury single-family homes. Note that "luxury" is the developer's positioning word, not a price band we can quote, because no pricing has been published.
Babcock Ranch's preview imagery for Sawgrass Lakes is labeled with two specific home designs: the Centennial from Toll Brothers and the Layton Grande from Pulte. Treat these as an indication of the product direction rather than a confirmed plan list. The developer states plainly that the images are for representational purposes only and that the actual product may differ, and neither builder has published a Sawgrass Lakes plan lineup, square footage range, or price sheet.
This is the honest half of a pre-construction page, and most competing pages skip it. As of our most recent check, none of the following exists for Sawgrass Lakes in any first-party source:
If you see any of those numbers quoted elsewhere for Sawgrass Lakes, ask for the source. At this stage they are not published.
Pricing is not out, but the community-wide cost of ownership is fully knowable today, and it applies to Sawgrass Lakes exactly as it applies to every other neighborhood. This is the part buyers most often get wrong.
Every home at Babcock Ranch pays the Babcock Ranch Residential Association master assessment. For 2026 it is $408 per quarter, or $1,632 per year, billed on January 1, April 1, July 1 and October 1. That total is made up of three parts: master association $270, internet $135, and environmental $3 per quarter. On a monthly basis that is $90, $45 and $1.
Two things worth knowing. The master component was reduced for 2026, down $5 per month from 2025, so the all-in quarterly figure moved from $423 to $408. And the internet component is not an add-on you can decline; community-wide fiber is bundled into the assessment.
This is the single most common error made about Babcock Ranch, and it appears on a lot of real estate pages. Babcock Ranch is not governed by a Community Development District. It is governed by the Babcock Ranch Community Independent Special District, an independent special district created by the Florida Legislature rather than a county-established CDD.
The practical effect for a buyer is similar in that there is a non-ad-valorem assessment on the tax bill covering infrastructure debt service and operations and maintenance. The distinction matters because the governing statute, the board structure, and the way the assessment is levied are not the same, and because anyone describing Babcock Ranch's "CDD fees" is working from the wrong document.
Because Sawgrass Lakes is not yet in the district's assessment tables, its figure is unset. For scale, across the neighborhoods that are assessed for FY2026, the total district assessment per unit runs from roughly $1,197 to $6,118 per year, and it varies by neighborhood, by product type, and by lot width. A townhome and an eighty-foot single-family lot in the same district are not close to each other.
Given that Sawgrass Lakes is positioned as luxury single-family on an elevated site, a buyer should plan for the upper half of that range rather than the bottom, and should ask for the actual figure in writing once the phase is platted. We will update this page when the district publishes it.
Babcock Ranch bills solid waste collection as a separate line, $340.58 for the current cycle. It is scoped to single-family homes, which is the product type planned for Sawgrass Lakes.
Several Babcock Ranch neighborhoods carry an additional service area assessment on top of the master. Lake Timber, Trails Edge, Parkside, Lake Babcock and Edgewater each have one, noticed separately by the association, and they vary widely. Whether Sawgrass Lakes will carry a service area fee, a sub-association fee, both, or neither has not been published.
The association's own fee sheet carries this instruction in bold, and it is good advice for any Babcock Ranch purchase: verify with the community management company to confirm service area or sub-association fees before you commit.
Choosing a district at Babcock Ranch is a real decision, not a formality, and WestTown is where the commercial build-out is concentrated.
B Street is a 111,000 square foot mixed-use lifestyle district under construction in WestTown, directly across from Founder's Square, with completion planned for 2026. It is designed as a walkable plaza combining dining, retail, commercial, office and residential space. For a Sawgrass Lakes buyer this is the nearest concentration of everyday destinations, and it is being built on roughly the same horizon as the neighborhood itself.
Curry Commerce Center is Babcock Ranch's first Class A flex and light industrial facility, located in WestTown on Curry Preserve Drive just south of Cypress Parkway, also targeting 2026. Its initial tenants are resident-owned businesses including Concord Pools, Solar City Carts, and Sweet Science Boxing Fitness. It matters less as an amenity and more as a signal: WestTown is being built to hold employment, not only rooftops.
If you want to walk a finished WestTown street before committing to a pre-construction contract, Northridge is the one to see. It is a Pulte neighborhood of 322 homes in the same district, offering thirteen home designs from two to six bedrooms. It gives you a real sense of WestTown's streetscape, lot sizes and finish level while Sawgrass Lakes is still on paper.
Babcock Ranch is powered by a large-scale solar array and is nationally recognized as the first solar-powered town in the United States. Utilities are underground, and the community was master-planned around sustainability, preserved green space and stormwater management rather than having those features added later.
Babcock Ranch drew national attention for how it performed during major hurricanes, maintaining power and experiencing minimal flooding while surrounding areas did not. That performance traces to specific design decisions: underground utilities, elevated build pads, extensive natural water retention, and preserved green space that absorbs stormwater. For buyers relocating to Southwest Florida, this is frequently the deciding factor, and it is a fair question to ask about any specific homesite.
Babcock Ranch has schools inside the community along with its greenSTEAM education programming, which builds the town's sustainability and environmental focus into the curriculum. For families buying pre-construction, school capacity and boundaries are worth confirming for your delivery year rather than for today.
Founder's Square is the social center of the town, with restaurants, live music, a lakeside boardwalk and band shell, farmers markets and year-round community events. Community-wide amenities include resort-style pools, fitness facilities, pickleball, tennis and basketball courts, playgrounds, dog parks, kayaking and fishing, and an extensive network of walking, biking and golf-cart paths that connect the districts.
A builder's sales agent works for the builder. Their contract is written to protect the builder, and it is generally not negotiable in the way a resale contract is. Having your own representation costs you nothing on a new-construction purchase in this market and gives you someone reading the contract on your side of the table.
One practical detail specific to new construction: most builders require your agent to be present or registered on your first visit. If you tour a sales center alone and register yourself, you can forfeit the right to bring in your own representation on that community entirely. This catches people out constantly.
On a Babcock Ranch pre-construction release, the buyers who do best are usually the ones who were positioned before the public launch, because the earliest phases tend to carry the best lot selection and the sharpest pricing. If Sawgrass Lakes is on your list, the useful move now is to be ready rather than to wait for the announcement.
No. As of our most recent check, Sawgrass Lakes is listed by the developer as coming soon. There is no sales center, no published pricing, and no active listings.
Pulte Homes and Toll Brothers, together. Most Babcock Ranch neighborhoods have a single builder, so a two-builder neighborhood is worth noting.
Along Saw Palmetto Parkway in the WestTown district of Babcock Ranch, on an elevated site the developer describes as having lake and preserve views.
Yes. The developer lists it as gated.
Not published. The developer positions it as luxury single-family, but no builder has released pricing, plans or square footage.
Not exactly. Babcock Ranch is governed by an Independent Special District, the Babcock Ranch Community Independent Special District, rather than by a Community Development District. There is a non-ad-valorem assessment on the tax bill that functions similarly, covering debt service and operations, but it is not a CDD and the governing structure is different.
The master association assessment for 2026 is $408 per quarter, $1,632 per year, which includes internet. Neighborhood-level sub-association and service area fees may apply on top, and those have not been set for Sawgrass Lakes.
No date has been announced. We monitor Babcock Ranch's releases and district filings and update this page when there is something real to report.
We track Babcock Ranch releases directly through the developer, the builders, and the district's own filings rather than waiting for a portal to catch up. If you want to know the moment Sawgrass Lakes pricing, plans or lot releases go live, tell us and we will make sure you hear it early enough to act on it. If you would rather not wait, we can walk you through the Babcock Ranch neighborhoods selling right now and how they compare on assessments, lot sizes and delivery timing.
