Blair Court | Eichler Neighborhood Palo Alto
- Blair Court is one of the few cul-de-sacs tucked into the larger Eichler neighborhood of Triple El. Triple El gets its name from the three streets Elsinore Drive, El Cajon Way, and Elsinore Court which make up the majority of the neighborhood. There are 80 Eichler homes in the Triple El neighborhood, all of which are protected by a city ordinance preventing demolition and second story additions. The Triple El community has wide streets, cul-de-sacs, and a tight-knit community of neighbors. Triple El is a perfect example of the community driven neighborhood Eichler aspired to create. Residents here come together for a number of annual gatherings, such as the fall ice cream social, the Memorial Day potluck block party and the New Year's brunch. Today, Tiple El is still a beloved Eichler neighborhood with residents who continue to uphold Eichlers ideals of community living. As an older neighborhood, Triple El 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.
