Mountain View Eichler Homes
St. Francis Acres and Monta Loma — the Peninsula's largest Eichler concentrations.
Mountain View Eichler homes for sale represent some of the most architecturally significant mid-century housing stock on the Peninsula. St. Francis Acres and Monta Loma are the two major Eichler tracts, containing the largest concentrations of Joseph Eichler-designed homes in the Bay Area outside San Mateo County.
The Eichler design signature is immediately recognizable: post-and-beam construction, flat roofs, floor-to-ceiling glass, interior atriums, radiant-heated concrete slab floors, and open indoor-outdoor living. Built between the 1950s and 1970s by Eichler Homes, these houses were revolutionary when new and remain architectural icons today. The San Antonio Shopping Center serves the area’s retail needs.
Prices typically run $2.2M to $3.8M, with the most intact and well-preserved Eichlers commanding significant premiums — buyers specifically hunting Eichlers pay for architectural integrity. Renovation on Eichlers requires specialized experience (radiant slabs, glass walls, original details) — Jessica can connect buyers with restoration-savvy contractors and architects.
