Atherton is one of wealthiest towns in America, and it’s the most expensive zip code according to Forbes. Most of the prices in Atherton can be compared with those in surrounding cities, towns and neighborhoods. Even real estate is similarly priced, but it’s still more expensive by slight amount. This is enough to reserve Atherton number 1 spot overall on our list of 10 most expensive cities to live in the Bay Area. Homes in Atherton cost more than $3.5 million on average, and most of them offer plenty of space to their lucky owners. This is one of the main differences between Atherton and other towns along the California State Route 82. Close vicinity of Stanford College is another advantage, and so is proximity to Dumbarton bridge which connects Atherton with Fremont – Newark on the other side of the bay.
