Louis Road | Eichler Neighborhood Palo Alto

  • In Palo Alto just south of Loma Verde Road, there is a small stretch of Eichler homes on Louis Road. These nine Eichlers are actually a part of the larger Los Arboles Eichler tract. The Los Arboles Eichler neighborhood began construction in 1959 and ended in 1691. Los Arboles encompasses the streets of Holly Oak Drive, Cork Oak Way, and Ames Avenue between Middlefield and Ross Road. There are 86 homes in the Los Arboles tract and they were designed by architect Jones & Emmons. Homes in this neighborhood are Eichler through and through with their iconic gabled rooflines, transom windows, and central patios. Part of Eichlers design was to keep all utilities underground giving the neighborhood a very clean and natural look. Residents here love the quiet and safe feeling that comes with living in an Eichler neighborhood. With wide streets and cul-de-sac, Los Arboles is a great neighborhood for families as well as professionals looking for a prime Palo Alto location.
