Andrew Ellerd, an Eichler owner, flew over the Balboa Highlands tract and took the following pictures. Some things to admire: mature trees, curved streets and lots of swimming pools. Please click on an image to get a closer look.

Above is looking southwest towards the top of the knoll. The homes to the top left of the picture are what we call “Likelers” – Modern designed homes which compliment the Eichler neighborhood. They donot have atriums, but front courtyard entrances with off centered sloped roofs.
