About Crescent Lakes
What it’s actually like to live here.
Crescent Lakes is Meritage's larger neighborhood in Babcock Ranch, built for buyers who want a gated community and real private amenities without paying luxury prices. At 366 homesites it's a meaningful step up in size from Crescent Grove, but it keeps the same energy-efficient construction that keeps monthly bills down.
The resort-style pool and pickleball courts give it more of a private-club feel than most communities in this price range offer, and it's a short trip from the growing MidTown district.

Buying here
Buying new construction.
Builders are selling here now, with some quick move-in homes alongside to-be-built plans. Most builders ask to know your agent at your first visit, so tell me before you tour a model home.
I can compare what’s open here against nearby neighborhoods, walk through lot premiums, HOA and CDD fees, and incentives, and keep you from comparing sticker prices that aren’t apples to apples.
Availability as of Oct 2026, based on builder and developer listings. Always confirm for a specific home.
