Layton Pointe is a gated community of 31 single-family homes by Toll Brothers on the site of the former Christ the King Monastery in Delray Beach. Sales opened in Spring 2025, model tours launched in early 2026, and vertical construction is actively underway. First move-ins are expected by October 2026.

What does Layton Pointe offer?

Four floor plans range from 2,632 to 4,187 square feet, with three to six bedrooms, up to 5.5 bathrooms, and three to four-car garages. Every home includes private outdoor living areas and flexible office or flex room spaces.

Toll Brothers offers full personalization through their Southeast Florida Regional Design Studio, the same platform available at other Toll Brothers communities in the market. Buyers can customize finishes, flooring, cabinetry, and other interior details before construction. We recently covered Delray Ridge, another Toll Brothers gated community nearby.

As Larry Mastropieri noted on the Discover South Florida Podcast: "Getting into a new construction single-family home starting around the low $1.3 million range in this area is pretty solid. That's becoming harder to find, especially with a reputable national builder like Toll Brothers. It's something buyers should definitely take notice of."

What are the floor plans and pricing?

Mariner (from $1,339,995): Approximately 2,643 square feet, 4 bedrooms, 3.5 bathrooms. Single-story layout with an open-concept great room.

Inlet (from $1,439,995): Approximately 3,287 square feet, 4 to 5 bedrooms, 3.5 to 4.5 bathrooms. Two-story great room with a first-floor primary suite.

Lagoon (from $1,589,995): Approximately 3,834 square feet, 5 bedrooms, 4.5 bathrooms. This is the model home, featuring a designer kitchen island and luxury outdoor living expansion.

Nautilus (from $1,689,995): Approximately 4,187 square feet, 5 to 6 bedrooms, 5.5 bathrooms. Four-car garage with guest wings designed for multigenerational living.

Estimated HOA costs range from $400 to $600 per month, covering gated entry, common-area landscaping, and professional management. There is no on-site clubhouse or resort amenities. Buyers who want those typically join nearby clubs like Seagate Country Club or the Delray Beach Tennis Center.

How does Layton Pointe compare to other Delray Beach options?

Layton Pointe competes in what we'd call the "mid-luxury" bracket. It often draws buyers who want a new build but prefer a boutique feel over a massive resort community.

Value per square foot: You can get approximately 4,000 square feet for under $2 million here. In East Delray, closer to the beach, that same house runs $3.5 million or more. We recently covered Casa Avenida's new townhomes in downtown Delray, where prices start at $2.995 million for significantly less space.

Builder reliability: Toll Brothers is a national builder with a robust Design Studio for personalization. We've also covered their Hidden Valley project in Boca Raton, another community using the same design platform.

Private enclave: Only 31 neighbors means you are not competing for pool space (because you will likely build your own). The tradeoff is that there is no on-site clubhouse, fitness center, or social programming.

What are the potential drawbacks?

Location: Layton Pointe sits behind Military Trail, about 4 miles (roughly 10 minutes) from Atlantic Avenue. It lacks the walkability of downtown or the prestige of oceanfront addresses. Buyers looking for that "glamour" factor may find it too suburban.

No on-site amenities: If you want a community gym, pool, tennis courts, or a social director on-site, this will feel too quiet. The HOA covers only gated entry, landscaping, and management.

For buyers who prioritize privacy and square footage over resort amenities, that tradeoff often works. For those who want the full club lifestyle, other Delray Beach communities may be a better fit.
