The Cloisters has a “boutique” feel that’s hard to find in Central Boca. With only 100 homes and a gated entry, the neighborhood stays quiet and private, with very little through-traffic. It’s one of those communities that many buyers overlook until they drive it — then it immediately feels different.
Architecturally, the neighborhood stands out. Homes are known for dramatic ceiling heights, large windows, and non-cookie-cutter layouts that don’t feel like typical subdivision templates. Because one of the original builders also built homes in New Floresta, the design language is similar — timeless and substantial — just with the added privacy of a gate.
Being part of Boca Del Mar comes with a nice lifestyle benefit: residents enjoy beautifully maintained surrounding roads, medians, and landscaping without a heavy HOA burden. For buyers who want a gated community feel without country-club dues or massive amenity fees, The Cloisters tends to check a lot of boxes.
Updated interiors + clean roof/impact/systems profile drive best-in-neighborhood performance.
Lots vary from 7,500 to 23,700+ sq ft. Canal-curve lots with golf views command the strongest demand.
Dramatic ceilings and non-cookie-cutter layouts are a defining Cloisters value driver. The homes that feel bright and open outperform.
Kitchens, baths, windows/doors, and roof age. Older homes factor renovation scope heavily into pricing.
