The Community Center recording puts thirty Claude Oakland houses from 1973 in one of Palo Alto's most established locations. That combination is unusual: most Eichler tracts are subdivision-scale developments on what was open land, while this one sits inside a neighborhood that was already valuable when it was built.
The 1973 plans are the mature late Oakland — generous, well-built by the standards of the period, and considerably more private from the street than anything from the fifties. The recorded lots run along Harriet Street.
What was built here
The late tracts, largely Claude Oakland's. Bigger, more complex in section, harder-edged at the street and considerably better built in envelope terms — better glazing, better insulation, more comfortable to actually live in.
What moves the number in Community Center
- Location does heavy lifting here, independent of the architecture.
- 1973 construction — the best-built era of the Eichler run in pure envelope terms.
- Thirty houses in a sought-after position. Turnover is low.
What is it worth?
We price Community Center the way it was built.
By tract, by architect, by what is still intact. Tell us the address and we will come back with the range and the reasoning behind it — not an automated estimate.
Before they hit the market
Most Community Center homes we sell never reach a portal.
Owners in these tracts tend to know each other. When one decides to move, we usually hear first. Join the list and you will hear early too — no volume, no drip campaign.
