San Jose Modern Homes — Celebrating Mid-Century Architecture & Design

Exploring the legacy of modern living across Silicon Valley’s largest city.

Welcome to San Jose Modern Homes, your destination for stories and insights on mid-century modern architecture, design culture, and local real estate trends.

Founded by Eric and Janelle Boyenga, partners at Compass Real Estate and longtime advocates of California modernism, this blog highlights San Jose’s rich architectural fabric — from the atrium Eichlers of Fairglen and Fairhaven to custom moderns scattered throughout Willow Glen, Almaden, and Cambrian Park.

Each feature dives into the designers, homeowners, and preservation efforts that keep San Jose’s modern neighborhoods vibrant and relevant today. Whether you’re restoring an original post-and-beam classic, discovering your first Eichler courtyard home, or simply drawn to clean lines and natural light, you’ll find authentic inspiration, expert guidance, and deep local perspective here.

Stay tuned for home profiles, design tours, and market updates — all celebrating how San Jose continues to redefine mid-century modern living for a new generation.
