Beginning in the flatlands, then moving westward to the hills by Highway 280, Atherton is noted for its heritage trees and park like setting. With its picturesque streets and average lot size of one acre, Atherton residents cherish their small, quiet community. This serene atmosphere has consistently made Atherton one of the most sought after and most expensive addresses in the country.
In the mid-1800’s, the town of Atherton originated as a place for summer homes of wealthy pioneering San Francisco families. Some of the most notable streets are named after the original distinguished residents, such as Faxon Dean Atherton and Thomas Selby. The spirit of innovation, entrepreneurship, and philanthropy still define the town’s residents of today as it has done for over 200 years.
Atherton is conveniently situated minutes from the downtown Menlo Park shopping district and just a short drive from the bustling downtowns of Palo Alto and Redwood City. Several private schools call Atherton home and the private Menlo Circus Club provides a swim, tennis, and equestrian venue for local residents. Despite its small size, the town has abundant open space and has its own library and community facilities, including the beautiful Holbrook-Palmer Park.
Over the years, the prestigious Town of Atherton has managed to preserve its charming character as a world apart, in the heart of Silicon Valley.
