Atherton
Atherton is a small, rural residential community with a concentration of artists, designers and media professionals as well as managers and professionals. This is an excellent choice for families with children who want to develop social ties with other families and thrive in an environment conducive to academic success. Native live oaks, white oaks, bays, redwoods, cedars, pines, and other ornamental trees cover the six square miles of town.
