Fairmeadow, Palo Alto Eichler Homes
Approx. 167 homes

Architect: Anshen + Allen


Fairmeadow's Eichler homeswent on sale in May 1951, a few months after Charleston Meadow. The homes, four basic plans and multiple elevations designed by A. Quincy Jones of Jones & Emmons, were slightly larger and costlier ($15,200 to $15,950) than Charleston Meadow. All had three bedrooms and two baths, versus Charleston Meadows' one.

A typical home in Fairmeadow wears a low-pitched gable roof with a peculiar aspect. The roof takes on a second, steeper pitch as it drops to cover the exposed rafter ends, giving it a bit of a Dutch Colonial look. Other homes in the subdivision have flat roofs. The simple roofs emphasize the homes' horizontality and make them seem much larger than they are.

But what really makes Fairmeadow distinctive is its street layout formed from three distinct concentric circles, designed (as were most Eichler site plans at the time) by Anshen + Allen. The goal wasn't to be clever, but to create, "a well-planned community (that) allows its families to live conveniently, comfortably, and safely."  In advertisements for Fairmeadow, which was named 'Subdivision of the Year' by Architectural Forum.

Besides giving visual interest to the area's flat, featureless terrain, the circular plan eliminated through traffic and proves how the neighborhood as a whole functions.
