Atherton is located on the peninsula nestled between the San Francisco Bay and the Pacific Ocean. The Town begins in the flatlands then moves westward to the hills, until it reaches Highway 280. Beautiful foliage, elegant gardens and heritage trees dominate this quiet small community.

The Town of Atherton desires, insofar as possible, to preserve its character as a scenic, rural, thickly wooded, residential area, with abundant open space with streets designed primarily as scenic routes rather than for speed of travel.

One drives among and around native live oaks and other mature specimen trees. There are no industry or business establishments within the town limits.
