If you are receiving orders for a PCS to Homestead ARB, preparing to PCS out of Homestead, transitioning from military service, or utilizing your VA home loan benefit, our mission remains straightforward: to simplify the real estate process for military personnel during their moves.

Homestead Air Reserve Base at a Glance

Homestead Air Reserve Base is located in South Miami-Dade County, just northeast of the city of Homestead, nestled between Biscayne National Park and the Everglades, about 25 miles south of Miami. The host unit, the 482nd Fighter Wing of Air Force Reserve Command, flies F-16 Fighting Falcons. 

The installation also supports several major tenant missions, including Special Operations Command South (SOCSOUTH), a Florida Air National Guard air-defense alert detachment, U.S. Customs and Border Protection, and the Coast Guard Maritime Safety and Security Team Miami. 

When you receive a PCS to Homestead ARB, you will find yourself at the southern end of the Miami metro area. There is no on-base family housing; therefore, most military families choose to live in the surrounding community. Housing options range from neighborhoods close to the installation to suburban communities, agricultural areas, and new-construction developments throughout South Miami-Dade and nearby markets.

Buying With a VA Loan Near Homestead ARB?

Eligible service members and veterans can often use a VA home loan to purchase a primary residence in Homestead and Miami-Dade County. Military Relocation Real Estate Co. collaborates with your VA lender to manage the entire real estate process—from property hunting to negotiations, inspections, appraisal, and closing.

Looking for New Construction Near Homestead Air Reserve Base?

South Miami-Dade continues to present new home opportunities in several suburban markets around Homestead, Princeton, and nearby communities. Military buyers interested in new construction should be aware that the builder’s sales representative represents the builder, not the buyer. 

Independent real estate representation is vital when comparing builders, assessing communities, incentives, financing options, HOA/CDD costs, inspections, and contract terms.
