Upper Lucas Valley & Lucas Valley Real Estate
Developed in the mid-1960s, Lucas Valley is a neighborhood of beautifully maintained mid-century modern homes. Joseph Eichler developed most of the homes, which were designed by Jones & Emmons and Claude Oakland, as well as the community center. An attractive feature of the neighborhood is that all utility lines are buried, leaving the clean aesthetic of the architecture and the beauty of the surrounding hills unmarred.
