📍 Why Stanford?

Stanford’s Eichler communities occupy a rare intersection of design, academia, and innovation.
Located just minutes from Stanford University, these neighborhoods were conceived during the postwar building boom and became laboratories for modern living — open, light-filled, egalitarian, and functional.

Today, Stanford Eichler Homes remain architectural treasures, attracting professors, designers, technologists, and collectors who value the balance of form, function, and creativity. The Boyenga Team has spent decades marketing and representing these properties, preserving their legacy while helping clients write the next chapter of modern Silicon Valley living.
