If you're looking for a more agricultural and farm-style area, then watch my Redland, FL video here! ⊳ kzbin.info/www/bejne/iJPJamSYeLKHqtE

[@bmwmission70]

I love your videos of our cities and communities. How about reviewing the other side of the redlands to the east. Princeton, fl.

[@AngieMBlanco]

@@bmwmission70 thank you so much! I’ll definitely add Princeton to the list.

[@javyautollc9891]

I miss the old Homestead with farmland surrounding it. It is growing too fast. Speaking as a 40 year resident.

[@AngieMBlanco]

I can completely understand and only imagine how you feel. The change here has been extreme.

[@bioshock9998]

This is most towns in the usa and around the world

[@michaelgreenberg8224]

I lived in homestead (Jan - Sept 1978) and worked at the old James Archer Smith hospital, in the Laboratory under Charles (Chuck) Habelow the lab director. I rented a room from a nice lady who had dogs and cats. I have very fond memories of Homestead and my work there.

[@AngieMBlanco]

That sounds so nice Michael! Thank you for sharing this

[@michaelgreenberg8224]

@@AngieMBlanco 👍🙂

[@talulatree5297]

I lived there in the 80's. I cut my finger and needed stitches, and my step mom took me to that hospital. I was pretty scared of the deep cut, and I remember her giving me a cigarette and we smoked in the waiting room!😮

[@gtgodbear6320]

I was born there in 1984. I moved to Ohio in 2007 and I've been dying to move back. Everyday felt like a good day in Florida. Ohio is depressing half the year. When my youngest turns 18 I'm going back and if any of my children want to come they can come with me. I at least want to get my ashes dumped in the Everglades if I die.

[@AngieMBlanco]

We'd love to have you back! Feel free to reach out whenever you're ready

[@thedirtybubble9613]

Why would you miss Homestead, FL?

[@gtgodbear6320]

@@thedirtybubble9613 because I remember every day feeling like a good day. Even with the gunshots And the occasional dead body dump for days. That no one reports because they don't want tied to it. But the location is awesome. Gateway to the keys, right beside Miami, in the Everglades. Besides the gang violence and county ran by Democrats, everything else is great. Go fishing everyday, sit out in the warm son and get robbed every once in awhile. What's not to like

[@thedirtybubble9613]

@@gtgodbear6320 Everything you just mentioned is not to like with the exception of the Keys.

[@bmwmission70]

I agree with you 100%. I moved back from jersey. I'm so much calmer. But be warned it's gotten crowded here but still pleasant living.

I still prefer Hallandale beach Florida just more things to do beautiful beaches and restaurants and a good night life.

[@AngieMBlanco]

Also a great area!

[@noahjamesmcd6040]

I just found out about the city. I was looking at positions I could fill after I am done with my career training and Homestead is one of my options. I prefer warm weather and hope to head down that way in a few years.

[@AngieMBlanco]

I'm glad you found out about it! If you need any help with possibly moving down, feel free to reach out.

[@floridaroadways]

Homestead has grown since the mid 70s with new or more homes and new or more shops. Close to the Florida Keys. I didn’t know it covers Florida City. Good thing they added a Movie Theater and a Bowling Alley. Great Video.

[@AngieMBlanco]

Thank you! Appreciate the love.

[@DayanaPlays]

Homestead has beautiful homes on large lots, as well as a lot of new construction! Great video as always! 🙌🏽

[@AngieMBlanco]

Yes it does! Thank you! 😄

[@maryleebowman2064]

I hate what is happening to Homestead. I have lived here for 25 years and Kendall has nowhere else to build so it is all coming South to Homestead. All the Farmland has started to Build. Farms are going away. I am sure a Realtors really loves our area so they can trash us to make a lot of money off the land of Homestead. Don't like this video at all.

[@11ryrymilo]

I grew up by Knaus berry , Redlands jr high. Changed alot

[@AngieMBlanco]

Aw, that's great! Yes, it certainly has

[@nathalygaldamez9829]

Homestead use to be great until lennar and dr.horton started buying off our beautiful greenery, building in every corner without any regard to the infrastructure in homestead. WE ARE JAMMED. Homestead infrastructure cannot support the amount of people we are getting and still waiting to get as they continue to build and jam in as much people as possible. Crime rate is up, more aggressive drivers, no new schools, no jobs in homestead, and traffic all day, everyday! Get ready to wake up at 4 in the morning for work if you live down in homestead and need to travel north for work. And also, let’s not forget the monopolization with lennar, they make money off you forever!!!!! Thy are a scam!!!

[@AngieMBlanco]

Hey Nathaly, even though I am a realtor, I can see and understand what you’re saying. It also pains me to see green spaces being taken away to continue building. I think that one of the most beautiful things about Homestead is how rural and agricultural it is, so if big developers continue buying and building, that aesthetic will change, even more than it has already. I share and understand your concerns

[@SunaGirl55]

we are also right next to one of the top ranking worst cities to live in because of the crime rate, the agricultureis betting lost, the traffic is unbearable so it doesn’t matter how close you are traffic will still hold you back. There is not much to do and the things that we do have are boring in that they are small so once you explore it, that’s pretty much it. The roads are consistentlybeing built and destroyed and rebuilt for obscure reasons., to many homeless people hiding where you least expect. It use to be great, but its gone down hill.

[@williebroadnex]

It’s to many homeless people by my area.
