Founded in 1998 by Eric and Janelle Boyenga, the Boyenga Team has spent over two decades redefining modern real estate throughout Menlo Park, Palo Alto, and the greater Silicon Valley Peninsula. As founding partners at Compass Real Estate, Eric and Janelle have built one of the Bay Area’s most design-driven real estate brands — a trusted name synonymous with Eichler expertise, architectural marketing, and luxury Menlo Park home representation.

Menlo Park Eichler & Modern Design Experts with Proven Success

As recognized Menlo Park Eichler Home Specialists, the Boyenga Team is the go-to resource for discerning buyers and homeowners who value mid-century modern design, architectural integrity, and neighborhood expertise. From Joseph Eichler’s classic developments in Menlo Oaks and South Menlo Park to custom-built 1960s modernist homes tucked near Sharon Heights, Eric and Janelle’s deep understanding of the city’s architectural heritage gives their clients an unparalleled edge.

Their marketing approach blends architectural storytelling with data-driven pricing strategies and the power of Compass’s national technology platform. Through programs like Compass Concierge, Private Exclusives, and HomeLight Buy Before You Sell, Menlo Park sellers benefit from expert renovation guidance, elevated presentation, and targeted exposure to Silicon Valley’s most design-savvy buyer base.

Rediscovering Menlo Park’s Mid-Century Modern Neighborhoods

Beyond its tree-lined streets and downtown charm, Menlo Park is home to some of the Peninsula’s finest examples of California Modern architecture — timeless, light-filled spaces that continue to define Silicon Valley living.

• Menlo Oaks Eichlers — Built in the late 1950s and early 1960s, this serene enclave features atrium-style homes, floor-to-ceiling glass walls, and signature Eichler post-and-beam construction.

• South Menlo Park Moderns — A limited collection of mid-century gems that pair open floor plans with indoor-outdoor fluidity, designed for the California lifestyle.

• Sharon Heights & Allied Arts Area — Custom-built modernist residences that combine natural materials, minimalist aesthetics, and mature landscaping.

Whether representing a restored Eichler original, a reimagined modern ranch, or a contemporary architectural home with MCM inspiration, the Boyenga Team brings unmatched fluency in design-driven real estate marketing.

Known as Silicon Valley’s Property Nerds, Eric and Janelle blend creativity, design knowledge, and advanced technology to transform how homes are presented and sold. Every Menlo Park listing is treated as an architectural story — one that connects emotionally with buyers through craftsmanship, light, and lifestyle.

Through cinematic video storytelling, twilight photography, and AI-powered digital analytics, their marketing elevates every property beyond a listing — positioning it as a piece of Menlo Park’s architectural heritage.
