In New Jersey they have preserved the suburban housing from 100 years ago. To the point that a lot of the housing in Haddonfield, NJ can not be torn down because it is landmarked as historical sites. Do I think the average subdivision is going to stay around to be considered historical? I doubt it given the crappy quality but who knows.
