Homestead Valley is popular for its proximity to services and shopping, beautiful natural setting, and large proportion of flat, sunny lots. The area is cooled by the fog that often rolls over the ridge from the ocean but generally is a little warmer than Tam Valley, and many who live here love the weather. There’s a mix of larger homes and smaller entry level homes, and depending on how deep in you are you can be pretty close to all the businesses on Miller Avenue, like Whole Foods, the 2am Club and Joe’s Taco lounge. The Homestead Valley Community Association serves as a social hub for the area. Its community center has a swimming pool and a BBQ area that can be rented out for parties, and the association sponsors art and music events as well as a popular 4th of July parade. We really like this neighborhood.
