Cloister Beach Towers

The Roebling Research Desk · October 2026

Cloister Beach Towers occupies the oceanfront at 1200 South Ocean Boulevard. The condominium dates to 1966 and is organized around four elevator sections, each with its own lobby. Only two apartments share a landing, creating a more intimate arrival than the overall size of the building might suggest.

The property is especially useful to compare through its circulation and apartment orientation. Its beachfront pool, ocean-facing shared spaces and mix of two- and three-bedroom layouts give it a distinct place within southern Boca Raton's established condominium stock.

Architecture organized around the apartment

The four elevator sections divide the building into smaller arrival groups. The practical effect is a short transition from elevator to front door, with a limited number of neighboring entrances. It is a circulation feature rather than a separate private elevator for each residence.

The association describes two-bedroom homes with north and south exposures, while the three-bedroom end plans add ocean or city-facing aspects. That arrangement makes the apartment line particularly important. A general statement that the building is oceanfront does not explain where the living room, bedrooms and balcony face.

Two-bedroom, end and combined plans

County records show Residence 8D as a two-bedroom, two-bath home of 1,230 square feet. The association's plan information also identifies larger three-bedroom end apartments and a small number of combined residences. Those categories should be compared separately rather than folded into a single average size.

The association describes balconies as part of the plan mix, with different configurations at the ends and penthouse levels. Their usable depth, orientation and relationship to the interior rooms matter more than the simple presence of outdoor space.

Shared spaces and the beach connection

The pool is located directly beside the beach. A fitness room and club room overlook the ocean, while library and game facilities extend the indoor amenity program. These spaces give the water a role in shared daily life as well as in the apartments themselves.

The association discusses common-area projects on its website. Current budgets, work schedules and financing documents provide the more precise basis for evaluating those commitments. A prospective owner should distinguish the apartment's interior condition from the obligations shared by the condominium.
