Faircourt Eichler Homes in Palo Alto

A Peaceful Mid-Century Enclave in South Palo Alto

Just east of Palo Alto’s Midtown district lies a quiet pocket of mid-century modern history: the Faircourt Eichler subdivision. Built in 1956 along Richardson Court, this charming cul-de-sac community of 28 homes is one of three small Eichler clusters in the area.

The Faircourt neighborhood stands out for its timeless sense of privacy and scale. The long, tree-lined court connects to Murray Way, which loops back to Loma Verde Avenue, creating a cozy, pedestrian-friendly setting that fosters community connection. Designed for comfort and functionality, Faircourt embodies Joseph Eichler’s philosophy of modern living for modern families, combining simplicity, openness, and light-filled interiors with a strong sense of place.

Architectural Design and Eichler Vision

The Faircourt Eichlers were built during one of Eichler’s most productive architectural periods, when his developments had evolved beyond experimental prototypes into refined examples of livable modernism.

Neighborhood Fast Facts:

• Years Built: 1956

• Number of Homes: 28

• Architect: Anshen + Allen

• Location: Richardson Court, near Midtown Palo Alto

• Floor Plans: Two models – one with 3 bedrooms and 2 baths (1,584 sq ft) and another with 4 bedrooms and 2 baths (1,789 sq ft)

Though modest by today’s standards, these homes were considered spacious for their era. Each floor plan emphasized open-concept living, radiant heat flooring, and floor-to-ceiling glass that blurred the lines between interior and exterior. Vaulted post-and-beam ceilings and tongue-and-groove wood finishes completed the warm yet modern atmosphere that has since become Eichler’s architectural signature.
