Verde at Babcock Ranch
Verde is Pulte’s gated single-family community in Babcock Ranch’s MidTown district — 399 homes across 109 acres, anchored by six lakes, bordered by Curry Creek Preserve, and positioned directly adjacent to the coming MidTown town center. With nine floor plans across two series and Pulte’s Life Tested® design approach, Verde was built around a clear premise: streamlined value in a great location, without the complexity of a full design center process.
One of the Only Gated Communities in Babcock Ranch’s MidTown District
Gated living is rare in MidTown. Verde is one of only a handful of gated communities across all of Babcock Ranch, alongside Regency (Toll Brothers, 55+) and The Sanctuary (William Ryan Homes). For buyers who want the Ranch’s lifestyle, proximity to MidTown’s coming commercial core, and a gated entry — Verde is one of the only addresses in the master plan that delivers all three.
Next Door to Babcock Ranch’s Coming Town Center — One Mile from Founder’s Square
Verde sits in MidTown, Babcock Ranch’s newest development phase, directly adjacent to the coming MidTown town center — a next-generation mixed-use district planned with dining, retail, offices, and residential space. Verde residents are positioned to be the immediate neighbors of what will become the Ranch’s most commercially active new corridor. Founder’s Square, with its farmers markets, Bandshell, and restaurants, is approximately one mile away — a short golf cart ride. Verde is also along Curry Creek Trail, bordering Curry Creek Preserve, with convenient access to Babcock Neighborhood School and Jack Peeples Park.
Two Series, Nine Floor Plans
Pulte designed Verde around two product lines that address different buyer profiles. The Garden Series is the more streamlined, value-focused collection. The Classic Series offers more square footage, more design flexibility, and Pulte’s Life Tested® features at larger scales. Both series use pre-selected, move-in ready design packages — a simplified buying process rather than a full custom design center experience.

Six Lakes & a Preserve Border
Verde’s 109 acres are anchored by six lakes distributed throughout the community — meaning a high proportion of homesites have the opportunity for lake views depending on lot position. It’s a meaningful differentiator from communities where water views are confined to a single pond or a handful of premium lots.
On the community’s periphery, Verde borders Curry Creek Preserve, adding a natural buffer that contributes to the sense of open space beyond the community’s own footprint. The combination of interior lake views and preserve adjacency gives Verde a greener, more natural character than its MidTown location might suggest.

Who Verde Is Right For
The Gated MidTown Buyer
You want MidTown’s location and its proximity to the coming town center, but gated access is non-negotiable. Verde and The Sanctuary are your two gated options in the district. Verde’s more value-accessible pricing and Pulte’s pre-selected package approach may suit buyers who don’t need an onsite design studio.
The Streamlined Buyer
You want a well-finished Pulte home without spending months in a design studio making hundreds of upgrade decisions. Verde’s pre-selected, move-in ready packages give you quality finishes at a defined price — the tradeoff is less personalization, but more certainty and faster move-in.
The Growing or Multigenerational Family
You need five bedrooms, a loft, a possible in-law suite, and room to grow. The Talon’s multigenerational suite option and the Yellowstone’s 3,416 sq ft layout are among the largest and most flexible new construction plans in Babcock Ranch’s MidTown at this price range.
Babcock Ranch operates as an Independent Special District (ISD) rather than a Community Development District (CDD) — but the financing mechanism works the same way. The ISD assessment appears as a non-ad valorem tax line on your annual property tax bill, structured similarly to a CDD bond. Confirm the current ISD amount for Verde and factor it into total annual carrying costs alongside HOA fees when evaluating any listing.
Five Things to Know Before Buying at Verde
- Understand Pulte’s pre-selected package approach before comparing to other builders. Verde uses move-in ready design packages rather than a full design center — you’re choosing among curated options, not selecting every finish individually. If deep personalization matters to you, The Sanctuary (William Ryan Homes, onsite design center) is the MidTown alternative. If a streamlined process and faster close matter more, Verde’s approach works in your favor.
- Lake views vary significantly by lot position. With six lakes distributed across 109 acres, many lots are adjacent to water — but not all of them have direct lake views. Ask your agent or the Pulte sales team to identify which available homesites are actually lake-facing before you compare pricing across lots.
- The MidTown town center is coming but not yet built. Verde’s adjacency to the coming mixed-use town center is a genuine long-term location advantage, but it’s a forward-looking one. Confirm current construction status and timelines with Pulte before treating it as a present-day amenity.
- The Talon and Yellowstone are the plans to know for flexibility. If a multigenerational household, a large family, or future growth is part of your picture, these are the two plans at Verde designed for it. The Talon’s first-floor multigenerational suite and the Yellowstone’s 3,416 sq ft five-bedroom layout offer more flexibility than anything else in the Garden or Classic lineup.
- Factor ISD plus HOA plus gate access into your full cost picture. Gated communities at Babcock Ranch typically have HOA structures that support the gate and community amenities. Confirm both the ISD amount and HOA fee for Verde specifically — the ISD non-ad valorem tax plus HOA plus mortgage plus insurance all stack, and that stack can differ meaningfully from what a base price alone suggests.
