Southern Miami-Dade County includes the Redland and Homestead areas, which make up the agricultural economy of the region. Agricultural Redland makes up roughly one third of Miami-Dade County's inhabited land area, and is sparsely populated a stark contrast to the densely populated, urban northern portion of the county.

We are known for some of the state's best-known beaches including Miami Beach and its famous Art Deco hotel district.
