Why people are
moving south.

A short brief · 03 / 04
The shorthand
"Wall St. of the South."
A reputation that's followed the financial firms relocating from the northeast — and stuck.
Education
Vanderbilt graduate school, downtown.
A new branch in development. Plus highly desirable preschools and an a-rated public elementary.
Health
New hospital partnerships.
Major medical expansions across Palm Beach County over the last five years.
Hospitality
London, NYC, LA — opening here.
Restaurants, clubs, and retail expanding south from major-city home bases.
Quiet zone
Outside the flight path.
SoSo sits south of the airport's approach corridor — and outside the construction zone of new towers.
Family-leaning
Sidewalks. Live oaks. Strollers.
Young families have been the engine of SoSo's last five years — and the reason it stays calm.
Travel
5 mi to PBI airport.
Direct flights up the eastern seaboard and west; international through Miami in 60 minutes.
Streetscape
Arlington — premier road.
A coveted SoSo block now defined by new luxury builds, with the value to match.
