Homestead is in the southern part of Miami -Dade County adjacent to two national parks, Everglades National Park and Biscayne National Park, encompassing the bay, barrier islands, and coral reefs. Homestead offers a unique small-town atmosphere for businesses and families with all the amenities of a big city. Miles of farmland give Homestead its pastoral charm, but the city is also in the midst of a major revitalization. Its historic downtown is experiencing a renaissance with new retail, entertainment and a transit center. Homestead Miami Speedway brings three NASCAR championships and thousands of visitors into the community.
