Boyenga Team + Compass

Santa Clara Eichler & Mid-Century Modern Home Specialists Elevating Silicon Valley Real Estate

Since 1998, Eric and Janelle Boyenga have been at the forefront of Silicon Valley’s design-forward real estate movement. As founding partners at Compass, the Boyenga Team has built one of the region’s most architecture-savvy real estate brands—trusted for their deep knowledge of Eichlers, modernist communities, and the cultural value of mid-century design across Santa Clara and the South Bay.

Santa Clara’s Leading Eichler & Mid-Century Experts

Santa Clara’s architectural landscape is unlike any other in Silicon Valley: a rare mix of single-family Eichlers, innovative mid-century townhome communities, and pockets of post-and-beam modernism that remain underappreciated by the mainstream market.

With decades spent studying Joseph Eichler’s design philosophy and tracking the evolution of Santa Clara’s mid-century neighborhoods, the Boyenga Team offers buyers and sellers expertise that goes far beyond standard real estate knowledge. Their insight covers:

• Pomeroy Green — a groundbreaking mid-1960s Eichler townhouse community centered around expansive park-like greens.

• Pomeroy West — a companion Eichler development with private patios, community amenities, and classic indoor–outdoor architecture.

• South Santa Clara Eichlers — atrium and gallery models near Homestead, where radiant heat, glass walls, and clean rooflines define the streetscape.

• Mid-century ranch pockets near Lawrence Expressway, where builders embraced post-and-beam construction and minimalist modern forms.

Their results-driven strategy blends architectural storytelling, market analytics, and Compass’s national technology platform—positioning every listing to reach modernist enthusiasts, relocation buyers, and Silicon Valley professionals who value design integrity.

Santa Clara’s Modernist Heritage: Key Neighborhoods

Pomeroy Green (early 1960s)

A signature Eichler townhome community, known for:

• uninterrupted greenbelts

• dramatic glass walls opening to shared lawns

• exposed-beam interiors & radiant slab heat
  One of the most unique examples of medium-density modernism in the Bay Area.

Pomeroy West (early 1960s)

Eichler’s companion townhouse development:

• private outdoor courtyards

• low horizontal massing

• community pool & recreational amenities
  Demonstrates Eichler’s vision for attainable, design-driven living in a suburban setting.

South Santa Clara Eichler Cluster

Single-family homes featuring:

• atriums

• post-and-beam frameworks

• signature indoor–outdoor flow
  These homes often set the pricing benchmarks for Eichler architecture in the area.

Mid-Century Ranch Enclaves (Lawrence Corridor)

Post-and-beam ranches with modernist cues:

• clerestory windows

• wide eaves

• open living volumes
  Proof that Eichler’s influence extended well beyond his own developments.

From restored originals to sensitively remodeled homes, the Boyenga Team understands how each pocket contributes to Santa Clara’s mid-century story—and how to position these properties in a market where architectural distinction is increasingly valued.

Silicon Valley’s Property Nerds & Next-Gen Marketers
