The Cloisters

I found a way to get inside this plush gated villas called "The Cloisters" and look around. Here is a peak at a typical home as seen from the Clubhouse. I think I would say this is some kind of neo-Mediterranean with a tint of Roman style architecture. To get to the clubhouse, you got to climb some steep stair steps... and there is no elevator. I guess they didn't have them in the time of the Romans and this is supposed to be a realistic reproduction. Imagine you have some challenges in mobility...The small swimming pool does remind me of the ancient roman baths. Even if I could afford it, I don't think I'll live here but if you do, you'll be a stone throw from the heart of Coconut Grove, which is very nice indeed.
