Prefer to read without the map? These are the 13 stops and their research questions. Each name opens the source used in its field note.
Green Gables · Peninsula · Early detached homes. Which changes are original, later alterations or undocumented?
Greenmeadow · Peninsula · Detached homes / historic district. What guidance applies to the exact parcel and proposed project?
Meadowcreek · Peninsula · Attached homes. What do the title, governing documents and maintenance records say?
Ferne–Alma · Peninsula · Multifamily heritage. How do light, outdoor space and shared systems differ from a detached Eichler?
19 Irving Avenue · Peninsula · Joe and Lillian Eichler’s residence. What can the relationship between house and landscape teach us?
Pomeroy Green · South Bay · Eichler townhouses. How do common space, unit layout and collective maintenance shape ownership?
Pomeroy West · South Bay · Attached Eichlers. Which responsibilities belong to the owner and which to the association?
Fairbrae orientation · South Bay · Publicly documented community anchor. Where does the exact home sit relative to documented tract and city records?
Fairglen Additions · South Bay · Detached homes / design standards. Is the parcel on the Historic Resources Inventory, and what review is triggered?
Geneva Terrace · San Francisco · Eichler townhouses. How do patios, shared spaces and attached construction change the inspection questions?

Explore 13 research stops spanning Palo Alto, Atherton, Santa Clara, Sunnyvale, San José, San Francisco, Marin, Orange and Granada Hills. The interactive atlas connects a location with its architectural context, a useful question and a source you can inspect.
The map changes to the selected research stop. Use the region filter to narrow the directory. These are orientation anchors, not surveyed tract boundaries or an inventory of available homes. A location pin does not confirm that a nearby address is an Eichler.
Santa Clara’s Pomeroy Green and Pomeroy West, Palo Alto’s attached developments and San Francisco’s Geneva Terrace expand the picture beyond the familiar detached house. Ownership form, shared systems and association responsibilities need their own research. Explore the deeper community guides at Eichler Townhomes.
Historical records explain development and design intent. Current permit files, title records, governing documents and inspections answer different questions. The atlas keeps those evidence types separate. For a specific property, confirm jurisdiction, historic status and applicable design rules with the relevant agency.
