I agree with you.

River Oaks is on the same level as Beverly Hills when it comes to wealth.

Yes I understand that, and I know about riveroaks I used to live in Texas. But characteristicly speaking palm beach and beverly hills are pretty similar. More similar than any other place I have seen in the south.

You are right in that Worth and Rodeo Aves. have the same feel to them, and the dominant architectural style in both areas is Spanish/Meditteranean. River Oaks and Buckhead have a lot more Georgian and French-style mansions in the mix.

FYI Highland Park, Texas (not “Highland Village”) was developed by the same person (Wilbur David Cook) how developed Beverly Hills. PS- I know that this has already been said but anyone comparing the Galleria area of Dallas to Beverly Hills obviously does not know what they are talking about.

Palm Beach and Coral Gables have some serious zoning codes,such as in Coral Gables your house has to be a certain shade,you can't own or park a Bubba truck on the streets and there are no street signs just stones sitting on the ground with names and in Palm Beach you can't go jogging without a shirt on and trash cans have to be covered and placed properly.These are just a few codes
