• The Charleston Meadows subdivision was completed in 1951 and is one of the larger Eichler neighborhoods with 100 homes in total. According to Dave Weinstein at The Eichler Network, “Homes in Charleston Meadow were designed by Anshen + Allen and follow seven different floor plans, plus variants created by flipping the plan... Many roofs are low-pitched with wide overhangs and clerestory windows in the gable ends. Narrow vertical windows peer quizzically at the street from either side of the

fireplace...Charleston Meadow's homes, which were first marketed from $11,950 to $13,700, are small, three bedrooms and one bath, with a narrow kitchen separated by cabinets from the living area…Today Charleston Meadow is again filled with children, as younger families have moved in. The neighborhood is largely intact, amidst a forest of oaks, sycamore, and pines. A handful of new homes have replaced the original Eichlers, and there have been a few two-story additions…” Today Charleston Meadows is still a beloved Eichler neighborhood with residents who continue to uphold Eichlers ideals of community living. As an older neighborhood, Charleston Meadows has watched Palo Alto and the greater Silicon Valley transform into the bay area we know today. Now, the Palo Alto area is one of the most sought-after places to live in the state. As a worldwide tech hub, Palo Alto is home to companies like HP, Tesla, Skype, and VMware with tech giants Apple, Google, and Facebook all in neighboring cities. The Palo Alto School District is currently ranked #1 in the state of California and there are a plethora of top-ranked private schools in and around the city. Downtown Palo Alto is a charming combination of small-town accessibility and urban ambience. Outdoor cafes, tiny coffee shops, bookstores, mom-and-pop specialty shops, national chains, art galleries, two movie theaters and numerous restaurants attract shoppers, eaters and entertainment-seekers of all ages.
