San Mateo Highlands Eichler subdivision is the largest Eichler development (over 700 homes). It was built from 1955 to 1965. There are a wide-range of models, from 3-bedroom homes to unusual split-level and two-story homes. Most of the homes were designed by architects Anshen & Allen, Jones & Emmons, and Claude Oakland. It also includes the X-100 all-steel custom Eichler home designed by A. Quincy Jones, built in 1956 to attract potential buyers to The Highlands.
