Midfair is a small mid-fifties recording that sits between the big Fairmeadow build-out and the Greenmeadow years. The houses come from the moment Eichler had proven the formula and was repeating it efficiently — which is to say they are competent, consistent, and quietly good.
Twenty-two lots means the tract rarely comes up in conversation on its own. In practice it trades as part of the surrounding early-fifties Palo Alto Eichler market, and the individual house does more work than the tract name. The recorded lots run along Allen Court.
What was built here
Early-fifties plans: post-and-beam frame left visible, radiant heat in the slab, a near-blank wall to the street and the rear given over to glass. Compact by modern standards — most have been added to. No atrium; that idea is still years away.
What moves the number in Midfair
- 1953–54 plans — post-and-beam, radiant slab, glass to the rear, no atrium.
- Roof and slab histories are the two documents that matter most on a house this age.
- Thin comparable data. Expect valuation to reference neighboring tracts.

Before they hit the market
Most Midfair 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.
