About The Preserve

What it’s actually like to live here.

The Preserve is a neighborhood of 154 twin villas built by D.R. Horton. Each is a two-bedroom, two-bath home with a flexible den, designed around low-maintenance living, and the community has its own pool and bocce court.

D.R. Horton is sold out here, so The Preserve is a resale market. That makes it a good fit for buyers who want a villa in Babcock Ranch without waiting on a builder, and it's worth comparing against the new villas and coach homes elsewhere in town.

Buying here

Buying an existing home.

Because The Preserve is resale only, you’re buying a home someone already lives in or owns. That means you can see exactly what you’re getting, and often move faster than on a new build.

Existing homes are where condition, roof age, insurance quotes, HOA and CDD fees, and negotiating all matter more. I can search current listings with you, set up showings, and help you compare against new homes elsewhere in Babcock Ranch.

Availability as of Oct 2026, based on builder and developer listings. Always confirm for a specific home.
