Keep Running (South): Why Everyone’s Moving from Wall Street to Worth Avenue

Thousands were racing through the streets of New York this weekend for the NYC Marathon…
but let’s be real, the real race is happening further south. ☀️🌴

From hedge-fund founders to first-time homebuyers, New Yorkers are swapping subway stops for sunshine and skyline views for sea breezes. The migration is officially on, and Palm Beach County has cemented its title as Wall Street South.

💼 The Great Financial Migration

Over the past few years, Palm Beach County has transformed from a getaway spot into a global financial powerhouse.

Here’s what’s fueling the shift:

• Tax breaks that make sense. No state income tax. Enough said.

• Business done better. Lower costs, friendlier policies, and a booming business environment.

• Lifestyle upgrade unlocked. Year-round golf, luxury dining, and ocean-view offices.

• Post-pandemic proof. The finance world learned it can trade stocks from the sand — and never looked back.

Today, more than 120 major firms, including Citadel, Goldman Sachs, BlackRock, and Elliott Management, have opened offices or relocated to the Palm Beaches. And they didn’t just bring their logos… they brought the energy, the people, and the paychecks.

🌇 Wall Street South, By the Numbers

Palm Beach County is now one of the top 5 fastest-growing wealth hubs in the world.

Let that sink in:

• 120,000+ jobs in finance and business services

• $35 billion in gross regional product

• 75,000+ millionaires and 68 billionaires calling the 561 home

• Finance is the #1 income sector, up over $7 billion annually

And if you’ve driven through downtown West Palm lately, you’ve seen it, new towers, luxury condos, waterfront offices, and more Michelin-star-adjacent restaurants than ever before. The city skyline is changing fast, and the vibe is electric. ⚡️

🌴 Why Palm Beach? Because Paradise Pays Off.

The appeal goes way beyond the weather (though we won’t lie, 80° in January doesn’t hurt).

This is where luxury meets longevity.

It’s not just about where you live, it’s about how you live.

No snow, no subway delays, no endless commutes, just good business and even better living. Whether you’re trading markets or just ready for a change of pace, Palm Beach County is the smart move.
