Known for its agricultural heritage — Homestead and the surrounding Redland agricultural district produce significant portions of Florida’s tropical fruit vegetable and nursery crops — and as the home of Homestead Air Reserve Base — one of the most important Air Force Reserve installations in the country and the base from which air defense operations for the southeastern United States and Caribbean are coordinated — Homestead generates a long distance moving market defined by its military community its agricultural and working family population and the broader South Miami-Dade residential community that has grown significantly over the past two decades.

Homestead is also the gateway to some of the most extraordinary natural environments in North America — Everglades National Park Biscayne National Park and the Florida Keys — which has attracted an environmentally conscious and adventure-oriented residential population alongside the city’s established military and working family community.
