ATHERTON CA

Atherton is one of the premier residential communities and one of the highest median household incomes in the country.  Atherton’s closest neighbor is Menlo Park, with Redwood City two miles to the northwest. It’s a close-knit community with a number of organizations dedicated to preserving a very high standard of living.

Top-flight schools is part of Atherton charm. Menlo-Atherton High School was named a 2013 California Distinguished School, and Encinal, Las Lomitas and Laurel elementary schools in Menlo Park, where many Atherton children attend school, all received Great Schools perfect 10 ratings based on test scores.

While primarily a town comprised of single-family homes, Atherton residents enjoy a wealth of activities in neighboring cities. For luxury living at its absolute finest and virtually everything one might wish for within an easy driving distance, Atherton is clearly the address of choice.

With one of the highest standards of living in the U.S., Atherton is a sought-after residential community you’d be proud to call home. Lush, tree-shrouded properties, a wonderful year-round climate and plenty to see and do in nearby Silicon Valley communities are just part of the appeal of this lovely town.
