Waterfront in Homestead is a nice place to do some big box shopping, grocery shopping, eat and do some regular shopping or just go to Barnes and Noble if that's all you wanted to do. We've been going to this place for years and whether it was going to Macy's or eating at Rock Bottom or PF Chang's there is always something for everybody here.
Costco, Target, Best Buy, Giant Eagle etc. The square where Starbucks is in the middle?...nice. While it is a little harder to find parking near the square no matter what there's always plenty of parking all around.
The bridge to go back towards Beechwood and 367 can be really busy but it eventually clears up. If I feel like taking the scenic route I'll take Carson instead. This is a great place to do some all around shopping and there is a range of places to eat from McD's to Longhorns.
