Neighborhoods

Atherton

If Atherton seems especially quiet and secluded, it’s no accident: The town prohibits commercial development of any kind, and it declares in its General Plan that streets are “designed primarily as scenic routes rather than for speed of travel.”

Hillsborough

In Hillsborough, large estates are the rule rather than the exception. The town is one of the wealthiest in the country and placed No. 18 on Forbes' 2014 list of the wealthiest U.S. ZIP codes (94010). Town ordinances ensure its exclusivity by enforcing a minimum house size of 2,500 square feet and a minimum lot size of a half-acre. Hillsborough’s population is greater than 11,000.

Los Altos

Los Altos is a quiet, residential city with tree-lined streets and a quaint downtown.

Los Altos Hills

Los Altos Hills incorporated in 1956 to preserve “the rural atmosphere of the foothills,” and the town’s tough zoning regulations have helped it maintain a low-density, small-town environment.

Menlo Park

Home to more than 10,000 street trees, numerous venture capital firms, and social media giant Facebook, Menlo Park packs a lot into its 9.8 square miles. The city offers residents a lovely place to live amid tree-lined neighborhoods and a friendly community.

Palo Alto

Palo Alto has a lot to offer its residents, including tree-lined streets, a thriving downtown, a plethora of parks and open space for recreation, and excellent public schools. The city’s location next to the Stanford University campus gives residents easy access to lectures, extension courses, and other educational opportunities.

Portola Valley

Portola Valley and the surrounding area have stayed true to the goal of preserving the neighborhood's peaceful and rural qualities. The town incorporated in 1964 to maintain local control over development and population growth. Today, Portola Valley boasts around 1,900 acres of permanent open space.

Redwood City

California may be known for its temperate weather, but Redwood City boasts the added distinction of having tied the Canary Islands and North Africa’s Mediterranean Coast for the world’s best climate in a 1920s U.S. and German test -- hence, the city’s motto: “Climate Best by Government Test.”

Woodside

Woodside, long a favorite among bicyclists and motorcyclists for its beautiful scenery and roads, offers a quaint business district, top-ranked schools, and plenty of history. Properties in the town are luxurious and spacious, nestled into the rolling hills but also near the charming downtown.
