Los Arboles spans the turn of the decade, 1959 into 1961, with Anshen & Allen and Jones & Emmons both on the recording. It catches the exact moment the classic Eichler becomes the sixties Eichler: the plans grow, the roofs get more adventurous, and the street elevation closes down further in exchange for a more private interior world.
It is also the tract we have photographed most, and the images across this site — the golden-hour gable, the entry sign, the carport — are Los Arboles. Eighty-four houses gives it a real identity without the anonymity of the two-hundred-lot tracts. The recorded lots run along Holly Oak Drive.
What was built here
The classic period. Larger plans, more assured roof geometry, longer glass runs — and, from about 1957, the atrium: an open-air room dropped into the middle of the plan. Whether a given house has one is the first question to ask.
What moves the number in Los Arboles
- Straddles 1959–61, so both late-classic and early-sixties plans appear within one tract.
- Two firms on the recording. Plan vocabulary genuinely varies house to house.
- Mature landscaping throughout — the trees the tract is named for have had sixty-five years.

Before they hit the market
Most Los Arboles 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.
