Read MoreSanta Clara’s Pomeroy Green and Pomeroy West are more than attached homes—they’re a living case study in high-density modernism and community design. Conceived by Joseph Eichler and architect Claude Oakland, these townhome communities fuse post-and-beam honesty, walls of glass, and private patios with park-like greenbelts, pools, and clubhouses. Pomeroy Green (a 100% owner-occupied co-op) offers uniform 4-bed/2.5-bath plans and comprehensive HOA coverage; Pomeroy West (condo/PUD) layers in one- and two-story options—including rare single-level atrium models—with conventional financing. Minutes to Apple, NVIDIA, Santana Row, and top commuter corridors, this niche outperforms generic condos thanks to fixed supply, architectural cachet, and a design-savvy buyer pool. Success here hinges on specialist representation: valuation must account for model nuance, radiant systems, and preservation; marketing must reach MCM purists; and co-op financing demands expert navigation. For buyers and sellers, pairing with Eichler experts is the strategic edge.

It was here, on the fertile soil of former orchards, that Joseph Eichler began his development career and built his very first tracts, making the city a veritable "cradle" of his architectural legacy. Today, Sunnyvale is home to approximately 1,100 Eichlers, showcasing the entire evolution of his designs. The city offers a compelling value proposition: the opportunity to own an architecturally significant home with access to top-tier schools at a price point that is more attainable than in other prime Silicon Valley locations.
Read MorePalo Alto is the undisputed capital of the Eichler world, boasting the largest concentration of these mid-century modern homes anywhere. Between 1949 and 1974, Joseph Eichler built over 2,700 homes in the city, creating a rich and varied tapestry of modernist enclaves. Today, these homes are not merely structures of wood and glass; they are the physical embodiment of a dual vision conceived by developer Joseph Eichler: to deliver architectural modernism to the American middle class and to build progressive, inclusive communities. Owning an Eichler home in Palo Alto is more than a real estate transaction; it is an investment in a specific lifestyle and an acceptance of a role as a custodian of architectural history.
