About Joseph Eichler
Joseph Eichler was a developer, not an architect, who hired leading modernists to design homes for ordinary buyers. Between 1949 and 1974 his company built more than 10,000 homes in California, most of them in the San Francisco Bay Area.
Eichler worked with architects including A. Quincy Jones, Frederick Emmons, Anshen and Allen, and Claude Oakland. He also sold homes to buyers of every race and religion at a time when much of the industry would not.
About 575 Eichler homes were built in Southern California, including nearly 350 in three neighborhoods in the City of Orange, built between 1960 and 1964, along with tracts in Granada Hills and Thousand Oaks.
On This Coast
The Eichlers of Orange are the largest group in Southern California. The City of Orange made the three tracts local historic districts in 2018, with design standards, and the homes are eligible for the Mills Act property tax program.

- Open-air atriums at the center of the house

- Steel House X-100
Buying a Eichler Home
- Ask about the radiant floor heating. Original systems are often replaced, and the cost belongs in the budget.
- Check the roof. Flat roofs need regular care and the right materials.
- In Orange, ask how the historic district design standards affect remodels, and whether the home has a Mills Act contract.
