I am a WPB and have spent a lot of time in Manhattan and attended college in the Northeast. For the most part South Florida does not value and preserve its historic neighborhoods the way other parts of the country do. El Cid probably has the largest concentration of historic homes in Palm Beach County but even there, you will see 1950's and new construction homes right next to 1920's homes. Also, historic here usually means 1920's-1940's. There is a growing appreciation of mid-century homes here (the way Palm Springs, CA adores its mid-century homes and aesthetic).
The career opportunities and values down here are VERY different than Manhattan -- even in Boca Raton. The schools here, even the private ones, are very different than the best schools in Manhattan or the best suburbs of NYC.
