An Atherton estate may run a speed oven in the main kitchen, a microwave drawer in the island and a countertop unit in the pool house, and staff preparing for an event are usually first to notice one has stopped heating. ## What Atherton does to a microwave. Atherton is zoned for single-family homes on lots of at least one acre and has no commercial zoning, so there are no shops, restaurants or grocery stores in town. The median home in Atherton was built in 1960, by Census Bureau estimates for 2020–2024. About half of the town's homes were built before 1960, yet roughly 27 percent date from 2000 or later. Utility gas is the heating fuel in about 80 percent of occupied homes, and electricity in about 18 percent.
