Few neighborhoods in Southern California whisper the promise of another era quite like the Eichlers in Orange County, California.

Joseph Eichler didn’t just build houses. He built a vision — of open-plan living, post-and-beam elegance, soaring glass walls, and a radical belief that great design belonged to everyone. Fairhaven is that vision made concrete, aluminum, wood and glass, preserved in breathtaking form decades after the drafting table was cleared.
On this exclusive home tour event, you’ll walk the floors, stand beneath the iconic exposed beams, and gaze through floor-to-ceiling atrium windows at the same California sky that inspired a generation of architects. From the clean geometric rooflines to the seamless indoor-outdoor flow that Eichler pioneered, every detail is a masterclass in the principles that defined an era.
Tour 4 stunning homes, each delightfully different in their floor plans, rooflines and approach to decor and renovation. You get to see Mid Century Modern adaption in action and all the different ways these homes have been carefully updated for today and designed as personalized havens. Hear the stories behind the architecture. Discover how Eichler’s bold integrated housing policies made Fairhaven not just beautiful, but historically significant. Connect with fellow enthusiasts who share your passion for the movement that forever changed how America lives.
Best of all you’ll meet and see a wonderful Mid-Century Modern community in action and hear from the homeowners how they share resources, forge connection and craft a tight-knit community that is all about celebrating and preserving mid century modern design and history.
