The Homestead Lifestyle
Homestead is a vibrant and growing city with a unique small-town lifestyle that lies between two national parks (Everglades and Biscayne) and is just minutes away from either Miami or the relaxing Florida Keys.
There are many activities within the Homestead area to fill your day. Our Historic Downtown is bustling with antique shops, specialty stores and restaurants. You can take in a race at the Speedway, play golf at one of the local courses, or visit the farms and nurseries of the Redland Agricultural Area.
The agricultural economy in Miami Dade County is heavily dependent on the fields and groves of Homestead that produce over $900 million dollars worth of fruits, vegetables and tropical foliage each year.
Homestead is an integral part of the multi-billion dollar winter vegetable and fruit market business in the United States. The agri-business of Homestead, in which over 83,000 acres of land are set aside, creates a job base of nearly 20,000 and supports over 1,600 farms and nurseries. With growth expected to continue in Florida and an increased demand for landscape materials, the foliage located in Homestead provide an abundance of landscaping materials to the Southeast United States and the Caribbean.
