    We are going to the Jones' house."
    "We are going to the boys' house."

    Spelled the same. Apostrophe is the same. Everything else is the same, why would the pronunciation be different?
    Because when you talk about going to the Jones house as opposed to the Smith house, you are using the name as an adjective describing the house. If you are talking about the Smiths' house, you have pluralized the name. So you pluralize the name Jones, which since it ends in "s" means you add an "es" and then add the apostrophe. It's not rocket science, although I fault teachers who teach apostrophe "s" and "s" apostrophe which is confusing. They should teach to pluralize first and then add the apostrophe unless the plural does not end in "s" like women's.
