Completely misinterpreted in the previous definitions. In Portola Valley people have money but they don't flaunt it. Sure they might have nice cars, but most people have Prius' or cars that are older than ten years old. There isn't a downtown, so residents have to go to other towns to buy food/clothing/anything else. Everyone knows everyone else and will help each other when needed. The public schools here are AMAZING, and not "dirty" as the other definition said. Most people send their kids to public school here and not private schools. It is a beautiful town with many things to offer and great people. People who live here have worked hard for their money and are usually involved in the tech industry. Because it is such a small town, gossip travels quickly, but that is the only negative part of Portola Valley. Whoever said that it is snobby has obviously never met the people of this town. Oh and by the way, no one calls it PV.
You live in Portola Valley?
Yep.
Are you rich?
Um why do you care?

The Atherton in the hills. Quiet, secluded, where everyone knows everyone. Obviously the people that wrote the previous definitions know nothing about what they're talking about. Everyone is rich here, but there are VERY FEW people who "brag" about their money. People drive a lot of nice cars, have nice houses. But less than half of the residents have vacation homes. Yes, some kids have really nice clothes and cars, but I have a shit car. And so do most of my friends. Almost everyone here is skinny, and 30% of the women here have had breast cancer. Some women have had plastic surgery, but its not LA. There are 3 schools: Ormondale, Corte Madera, and Priory. They are all great schools. The woodside deli has the best pizza in the bay.
Why are you Portola Valley people such rich ugly snobs?" "Actually, if you've been there once in your life, you might actually base your horrible opinion off of some facts." "Don't you have designer clothes?" "This is from Target. Now F**K OFF.

Portola Valley is a beautiful little town nestled in the hills of the Bay Area. Unlike the first definition, people living in Portola Valley are, in fact, rather well-off. Needless to say, that doesn't mean they're all stuck-up rich kids--like any affluent area, there are some people like this, but there is also a large population of down-to-earth people who just happen to have a little bit of money. Also unlike the first definition, it is not "smelly" or "dirty," but quaint and rather pretty... anyone who's actually been to Portola Valley would know this. Being in Portola Valley is like taking a walk in the country, and although you may feel rather isolated while in the town, large urban areas including San Francisco and the Palo Alto area are just minutes down the road. A great place to grow up... :)
-Portola Valley's just tryna to imitate Atherton.
-Actually, Portola Valley is it's own town not trying to imitate anybody. Houses may not average at $20 million, but I'd say an average of $5 million still indicates a rather wealthy area.
