El Cid is a historic neighborhood in West Palm Beach (ZIP 33401), Palm Beach County, on the west shore of the Intracoastal Waterway just south of downtown, bounded roughly by Flamingo Drive, South Flagler Drive, Dyer Road, and South Dixie Highway (El Cid profiles).
It is listed on the local, state, and National Register of Historic Places and contains about 281 historic homes, predominantly Mediterranean Revival and Mission styles with stucco walls, red-tiled roofs, and arched entryways.
The district came into its own during the 1920s Florida land boom, with many homes designed by prominent architects of the era such as Maurice Fatio and Howard Major; its origins trace to 1875 and the first permanent settler on the western shore of Lake Worth.
Because it is a designated historic district on the Intracoastal, value rests on the home's architecture and restoration, any waterfront or water-view position, condition, and the historic-district guidelines. Confirm the review process, read an old home's systems, and check insurability before you offer.
