Atherton Reviews
Rating 4 out of 5 12 reviews
One of the wealthiest zip codes in the country. Very safe, and great social life. I love living here.
I attend Menlo College in Atherton. I love the area. It is so peaceful and safe. I love how diverse Atherton is and how nice the people are. Right below San Francisco and right next to Standford so there is a lot of things to do and enjoy. Only downside is that the cost of living is very high.
It is a small and lovely town. It has the simplicity of a small town but an environment and business of a big city. It looks like you have the pros of a big and small city all in one place called Atherton.
