WELCOME TO ATHERTON

Enormous lots lie hidden behind dense tree coverage in an incredibly sought-after community beloved by Silicon Valley billionaires.

The stunning and secluded rural community of Atherton is one of the United States’ most affluent places and attracts some of the biggest names in tech due to its proximity to Silicon Valley.

This incredibly prestigious community has a household median income in excess of $250,000, making Atherton’s residents the highest earning of any community in the entire United States. Sprawling lots lie hidden behind towering greenery and the neighborhood exudes a tranquil rural character, despite lying within 15 minutes’ drive of Silicon Valley and 45 minutes from the heart of San Francisco.

Atherton is a calming escape with a strict prohibition on commercial activity within the neighborhood. It is easy to see why major tech names are drawn to this private enclave of sprawling properties that provides a true getaway from the bustle of modern life.
