Banning Lewis Ranch – Newer Homes, Trails, Parks & Family Amenities

Banning Lewis Ranch is one of the fastest-growing master-planned communities on the east side. With trails, schools, parks, and community events built into the neighborhood design, it's ideal for families who want a newer home without the high north-side price tag.

This area appeals to buyers who value modern floor plans, HOA-maintained amenities, and a strong sense of community. The neighborhood continues to expand with new phases, offering a mix of builders and home styles. If you're looking for newer construction with established amenities rather than waiting for a brand-new development, Banning Lewis Ranch delivers.

Families appreciate the planned parks, walking trails, and community recreation center. The area attracts both military families (thanks to proximity to Peterson and Schriever) and civilian buyers who want more house for their money compared to north-side options.
