As of this writing, Babcock is “a way out” in Southeastern Punta Gorda, nestled in farm and cattle grazing land surrounding Highway 31, the main artery in and out of the community. 

Expect the surrounding development to radically change in years to come, as the community grows to about 50,000 residents.
