"First, it has given more than 1500 visilors tangible proof that there are Orinda homes within every price level, and that any family may enjoy the luxury of living in Contra Costa County's magnificent, restricted residence park. Second, it has convinced these same people that even the lowest-priced Orinda lots offer ideal sites for carefully-planned homes. "We purposely planned this model home to show what can be purchased in Orinda for less than $2000, including home and homesite. The lot we selected is typical of those selling for less than $500. "To make this model small home of even more practical value to visilors, we have selected a number of siles that are in the same price range and prepared them for inspection In connection with the showing of the home.

"In other words, visitors ran go through the model home and then visit several other sites, located nearby, which lend themselves to the construction of homes of a similar type, although these siles vary as to view, shape, and topography. These sites have been cleared of grass and trails have been cut so that visitors may see every part of each sile.
