The historic neighborhoods in West Palm Beach have been one of South Florida’s true gems. And it has now caught the eye of Illustrated Properties.
The real estate firm based in Palm Beach Gardens has recently opened an office in West Palm Beach. It plans on selling historic homes in several cities that lie between Delray Beach and North Palm Beach. For now, the company has nearly thirty listings and wants to get 50 to 75 by 2007.
Illustrated Properties will sell West Palm Beach homes in such neighborhoods as Grandview Heights and El Cid. The former is one of West Palm Beach’s oldest areas, built in the 1910s and 1920s with dazzling architecture that is reminiscent of those times. Several of these historic districts were listed in the National Register of Historic Places.
But to sell a historic house is not the same as a regular home developed in the last ten years. Buyers can’t tear down walls due to restrictions in the area in order to preserve the city’s history.
Illustrated Properties also plans on moving their current office next year to another of West Palm Beach’s oldest neighborhoods, Mango Promenade.
