Now we’re REALLY getting paranoid –yet more neighbors (and friends) are selling-up and leaving! We’re über sad to see these guys go, but very happy for them, as they begin their next chapter. Anyhow, the house is an absolute peach. It’s a 3 bed/2 bath 1600+ square-foot Eichler Home, built in 1955, as per most of …

good neighbors
We’re regularly amazed by neighborly kindness. From tool-lending to truck pick-ups, lighting donations to dessert deliveries (you know who you are!) people are SO helpful. Just this week, our friends, Michael and Clyde, gave us three sheets of Eichler siding, following some repairs. This is expensive stuff, but they insisted we take it. How generous …

We’re starting to get paranoid –since we arrived, three neighbors have put their homes up for sale. The latest appeared last week, with an open house yesterday. As we’ve come to realize, this is an excuse for nosy neighbors (us included) to congregate. And so they/we did, along with a steady stream of would-be buyers. …

Another Sacramento Eichler is about to hit the market. We’ve known this was coming for a while, as we’re friends with the sellers. It will be very sad to see them go, but they won’t be far away. And hopefully we’ll get some nice new neighbors. This beautifully cared for 1955 Eichler, has 3-beds/2-baths and …

We bought the last Eichler for sale here, but soon we’ll no longer be the neighborhood newbies. 6489 South Land Park Drive is about to hit the market. We already had a sneak preview, at the garage sale I mentioned –an immaculate 2-car garage, by the way. The house is listed as a 5-bed/2 bath …

We’re extremely happy in our Eichler, in Sacramento. But that wasn’t quite the plan. We wanted to buy in Concord, CA, home to about 175 of the Bay Area’s most affordable Eichlers. And this time last year, we traveled there (from Boston) to tour our first Eichler for sale. This was a beautifully preserved Eichler, …

eichler christmas
With the unseasonably mild weather we’ve had in Sacramento, you almost forget it’s Christmas. Luckily, we get a regular night-time reminder, when our neighbors’ homes come to life. I took a stroll the other evening and snapped a few. The Eichler owners above switched regular bulbs with green and red, to stunning effect. I love …

I ‘borrowed’ this article scan from a fellow Eichler owner’s Flickr pics –hopefully they won’t mind. It comes from a May 15 1955 edition of the (defunct) Sacramento Union newspaper, and announces the launch of our Eichler development, in South Land Park Hills. The model shown looks identical to ours. Needless to say, we paid …

Before we moved in, our realtor told us our new neighborhood had featured in Sacramento Magazine. When we arrived, we snagged a copy in a local eatery, and saw for ourselves. Sure enough, South Land Park made the mag’s “10 great neighborhoods”. And our neighbor’s Eichler, just up the street (a house we’ve since been …
