About Us:

The City of Homestead is the second oldest city in Miami-Dade county. 

Homestead lies near the southern-most tip of Florida, where sunny days are in the majority and the average temperature is 75 degrees. Ten miles west are the vast mangrove forests and watery sawgrass plains of Everglades National Park, a subtropical wilderness that shelters alligator and ibis, eagle and manatee. To the east and south are Biscayne Bay and its underwater national park, the Florida Keys and the Atlantic Ocean. Thirty miles north is Miami, "Gateway to the Americas," and one of the country's exciting international cities.
