Atherton, California, has officially secured its status as the most expensive place to live in the state, according to an updated list from Family Handyman. The 94027 zip code boasts a staggering median home value of $7,313,400, reinforcing its reputation as a prime location for the wealthy.

Family Handyman highlights that Atherton's high cost of living can be largely attributed to its desirable location. Situated just 45 minutes south of San Francisco and a mere 20 minutes from many major tech companies in Silicon Valley, the town has become a haven for affluent individuals and families seeking proximity to the tech hub while enjoying a more tranquil suburban environment.

This exclusive community is known not only for its luxurious homes but also for its scenic landscapes and spacious lots, making it an attractive choice for those with significant financial means. The combination of prime location, expansive properties, and a prestigious reputation continues to draw high-net-worth individuals to Atherton, solidifying its status as California's most expensive neighborhood.
