Homes~375 Eichlers in a 535-home subdivision

Rancho San Miguel was Eichler's first major East Bay project: a 535-home subdivision built 1955–58 in which about 375 are Eichlers, the rest conventional ranches — which makes for an unusually instructive street-by-street comparison of what post-and-beam actually buys you.

One of Walnut Creek's first tracts, with an active neighborhood association, walkable to downtown's restaurant row and BART. The East Bay Eichler market is thinner than the Peninsula's, and Rancho San Miguel is its center of gravity.
