Walnut Creek Eichler & Modern Home Experts Redefining Bay Area Living 

Modern Architecture. East Bay Sophistication.

The Property Nerds of Walnut Creek.

Founded in 1998 by Eric and Janelle Boyenga, the Boyenga Team has spent more than two decades redefining how modern and architectural homes are represented across the Bay Area. As founding partners at Compass, they’ve built one of the region’s most respected, design-driven real estate teams — known for architectural fluency, market intelligence, and precision marketing.

While nationally recognized for their leadership in modern and mid-century real estate, the Boyenga Team brings deep expertise to the East Bay — particularly Walnut Creek, where thoughtful modern design, hillside architecture, and refined suburban living intersect. From Eichler and Eichler-inspired homes near Walnut Acres to architect-designed mid-century residences and contemporary rebuilds throughout Walnut Creek, the team applies the same obsessive attention to architecture, data, and storytelling that defines their brand.

Their mission in Walnut Creek is simple: honor modernist design while delivering exceptional outcomes for buyers and sellers who value architecture, lifestyle, and long-term performance.

🏡 Walnut Creek Modern Homes: Where Design Meets Refinement

Walnut Creek offers a distinct interpretation of modern living — blending mid-century principles with elegant suburban scale, access to open space, and one of the East Bay’s most desirable downtown cores.

Here, modern homes are shaped by:

• Hillside topography and view corridors

• Larger parcels and privacy-forward layouts

• Indoor–outdoor living designed around patios, decks, and gardens

From post-and-beam mid-century residences to clean-lined contemporary rebuilds, Walnut Creek’s modern homes prioritize light, proportion, and livability. The Boyenga Team represents these properties not as trend-driven updates, but as architectural assets — each one positioned within its era, neighborhood context, and buyer audience.

Whether it’s:

• A mid-century modern home near Walnut Acres,

• A hillside modern residence with views toward Mount Diablo, or

• Acontemporary architectural rebuild near downtown Walnut Creek,

each home is marketed as a one-of-a-kind expression of East Bay modern living.

📍 Walnut Creek Modern & Mid-Century Neighborhoods

Walnut Acres & Adjacent Enclaves

Walnut Acres and nearby pockets feature some of Walnut Creek’s strongest concentrations of mid-century and Eichler-influenced homes. These neighborhoods emphasize open floorplans, expansive glass, low-pitched rooflines, and seamless indoor–outdoor flow — all within close proximity to downtown amenities.

Hillside Walnut Creek

Modern and mid-century homes in Walnut Creek’s hills take full advantage of elevation, views, and privacy. Many properties are designed with terraces, walls of glass, and thoughtful orientation to maximize natural light and connection to the landscape.

Downtown & Near-Downtown Modern Living

Contemporary condos, townhomes, and architect-designed infill projects near downtown Walnut Creek offer a refined urban-suburban hybrid — walkability, dining, and cultural amenities paired with modern interiors and lock-and-leave convenience.

Together, these areas form the architectural backbone of Walnut Creek’s modern identity.
