Homestead is a city within Miami-Dade County in the U.S. state of Florida, between Biscayne National Park to the east and Everglades National Park to the west. Homestead is primarily a Miami suburb and a major agricultural area. It is a principal city of the Miami metropolitan area, which was home to an estimated 6,012,331 people at the 2015 census.
Homestead was incorporated in 1913 and is the second oldest city in Miami-Dade County next to the city of Miami. It is located approximately 35 miles (56 km) southwest of Miami, and 25 miles (40 km) northwest of Key Largo. The name originates from when the Florida East Coast Railway extension to Key West was being built. The rail line was passing through an area opened up for homesteading, and as the construction camp at the end of the line did not have a particular name, construction materials and supplies for the workers were consigned to "Homestead Country", shortened to "Homestead" by the engineers who mapped the area. The population was 60,512 at the 2010 census. Homestead and neighboring South Miami-Dade County communities bore the brunt of Category 5 Hurricane Andrew on August 24, 1992.
The city of Homestead is located near the southern terminus of the Homestead Extension of Florida's Turnpike where it ends at its junction with U.S. 1. Homestead is immediately north and east of Florida City, and these two cities comprise the greater Homestead-Florida City area. Some of the notable unincorporated communities in the area are Redland, Leisure City, Naranja, and Princeton.
Its race track is the annual finale of the Monster Energy NASCAR Cup Series as well as the two minor championships of NASCAR.

I would highly recommend this community to older friends and family due to its excellent livability and supportive environment. The quality of care is outstanding, with caregivers who are attentive, compassionate, and well-trained to address the specific needs of older adults. The community offers a variety of educational and social engagement opportunities, which keeps residents active and socially connected—this is so important for their mental and emotional well-being.
Additionally, the transportation services provided make it easy for residents to access medical appointments and other essential services. The facilities are clean, well-maintained, and accessible for those with mobility issues, enhancing safety and comfort. Overall, the environment here is warm and welcoming, and it feels like a place where older adults can truly thrive. I believe it’s a place that values dignity and respect for all residents, making it an ideal choice for those looking to maintain a high quality of life as they age.
I live and help elderly people in my neighbourhood. Addy that I know needs a caregiver.
Es un barrio tranquilo y bastante seguro para vivir

The community i live in has lots of family with children everyone gets along with each other and there are a plethora of schools to choose from if you have children. There’s a big park and many stores near by so you don’t always have to go to far to find what you need.
