Homes and Streets

This is one of the best places in the Bay Area to find an Eichler. Flat roofed and gabled models with atriums, floor to ceiling glass and radiant floors line the cul de sacs, with many thoughtfully restored and some rebuilt. The lots are modest, the streets are quiet and the neighborhood has a strong sense of identity around its mid century roots.
