What to expect:
Five square miles of wooded estates.

Wind your way through the streets of Atherton — perhaps without seeing a soul, since many homes here are internationally owned or second homes — before pulling into your long gated drive and basking in the genuine peace and quiet.

The lifestyle:
Sophisticated and private, where isolation is treasured.

Atherton is popular with busy tech execs and international billionaires, and so the charm of the neighborhood is more in its grand estates and leafy drives than community block parties or neighborhood gatherings.

Unexpected appeal:
Atherton is entirely residential, which makes it particularly cordoned off.

When Atherton feels too sleepy or you’re craving a night out, head to nearby Menlo Park with other locals for your choice of fine dining and lazy-day shopping.
