La Honda is a small, unincorporated village located in the valley southwest of Portola Valley about ten miles inland from the Pacific Ocean. Once a logging camp, La Honda is rich in history. In the twenties, the wealthy built their summer homes in the area, taking advantage of its beauty and solitude. In the sixties, many of these summer homes became year-round homes and, in the seventies, people began to discover the area's charms and began building mansions. At this point, La Honda began to limit development and the town now has many large lots with peaceful views.

Surrounded by state parks and protected by the mountains from the fog, La Honda is beautiful and temperate. It also has plenty of character and community atmosphere. There is one school in town with very active PTA. Residents in this country town also enjoy the convenience of a local grocery store and restaurant. There is an annual street fair, as well as a shop filled with craft items. For those who are seeking quiet, beauty, personality and community spirit, La Honda is the perfect choice.
