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.

For buyers and sellers, pairing with Eichler experts is the strategic edge.
