The COVID pandemic fueled a 21st-century great migration of people and wealth that is reshaping the Palm Beaches. That influx of money is transforming the style, landscape, and fortunes of our area, with some communities more and more resembling the tony town of Palm Beach. The migration will bring ever-lasting changes and tremendous challenges. The Palm Beach Post tackles this amazing time in history in a multi-part series titled The Palm Beaching Project.
The Palm Beaches have always been an attractive destination to work, play, and visit — and a magnet luring legions of new residents. Now, the post-pandemic era has opened the floodgates to a 21st-century great migration to Palm Beach County.
More and more people who felt trapped in cities and stifled by high taxes in other states have opted for more attractive living options in this patch of Sunshine State paradise, with its stunning open spaces, and culinary and cultural choices.
