Anyone else feel this way? I'm a college student here and Average temperature is around 77--F, so it's warm year-round. With a population of 80,725, Homestead is a smaller city. There's a real sense of community in certain neighborhoods. Thanks for reading.

Public transit is challenging here. You'll probably need a car for most things. I have mixed feelings honestly.

Moved here from San Francisco about 13 years ago. I wouldn't want to live anywhere else right now. Still getting used to public transit but Happy to answer more specific questions..

Real talk - this place is not for everyone, and I think that's OK.
If you value cultural scene, you'll love it. The healthcare is genuinely pretty good and I've found it's exactly what I was looking for. My neighborhood (South) is competitive and I feel safe walking around at night.
But if you're coming from San Francisco, be prepared for the culture shock. pet-friendliness is completely different here. And Not a lot of cultural diversity.
My advice would be to visit for at least a week before committing. Rent first, don't buy. And explore multiple neighborhoods - they're all different.
