New developments are happening in the neighborhood
Established in 1913, the city of Homestead is the second oldest city in the county, but the area is far from old-fashioned. On its east side, multiple gated communities feature new contemporary homes. The downtown area is booming with new amenities like an IMAX theatre and a state-of-the-art library. And the west side, which includes the neighborhood of Southwest Homestead, is starting to see the same growth as the rest of the city. “Builders are coming in and offering incentives to buy, and so a lot of families are moving in because of the affordability,” says Michael Valencia, a Realtor with Lamacchia Realty who sells throughout South Florida. “There’s a lot of development happening.”
