Amarillo Avenue | Eichler Neighborhood Palo Alto

  • The Eichlers on Amarillo Avenue is a newer addition to the Greek Park Eichler neighborhood. The Amarillo Eichlers were built in 1957 as opposed to 1950 and 1951 which is when the first Greer Park eichlers were built. The Greer Park Eichler neighborhood sits in the wonderful Palo Alto neighborhood of Midtown. Originally, around 130 homes were built up and down Amarillo Avenue, Moffett Circle, Metro Circle, Lawrence Lane, Van Auken Circle, and Greer Road, between Amarillo and Colorado Avenues. As one of Eichlers first housing tracts, designer Anshen + Allen used prototype designs that were the first of their kind during that time. Later that year, Architectural Forum Magazine highlighted Greer Park, along with a select few other neighborhoods, in an article titled “Subdivision of the Year.” Today Greer Park is still a beloved Eichler neighborhood with residents who continue to uphold Eichlers ideals of community living. As an older neighborhood, Greer Park has watched Palo Alto and the greater Silicon Valley transform into the bay area we know today. 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. Downtown Palo Alto is a charming combination of small-town accessibility and urban ambiance. 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.
