Meadow Park is built across 1957 and 1958, which is the sweet spot of the Eichler catalogue. The plans have the full late-fifties vocabulary — atrium entries appearing, larger glass runs, roof geometry handled with real assurance, and floor areas that suit a modern household better than the early-fifties houses do.
Seventy-five houses is a proper neighborhood. There is enough of it to feel like an Eichler tract when you drive in, and enough turnover that a patient buyer gets a real choice rather than whatever happens to be available. The recorded lots run along Gailen Avenue.
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 Meadow Park
- Peak-period plans. Confirm atrium or no atrium — both exist in this window.
- Larger floor areas than the early tracts, which changes what an addition needs to accomplish.
- 1957–58 glazing is still single pane in original condition.

Before they hit the market
Most Meadow Park 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.
