The House of Michael Arrington in Atherton, California

TechCrunch founder Mike Arrington runs the most influential blogging empire from his four-bedroom house in Atherton, California. Here’s a picture of Arrington’s home neighborhood taken from Google Maps.

Though Michael Arrington’s home address has one of richest zip codes of America, it’s nothing lavish. Here’s how Wired describes the place which is home to the most popular figure in the Web 2.0 world:

Arrington’s office at the end of the hall looks like it belongs to a grad student: two computer monitors, papers stacked everywhere, a bottle of generic antacids.

He’s not living large. The place is a rental - and it’s a dump. The kitchen looks like it hasn’t been redone since the ’70s, and the beige shag carpet badly needs a shampoo. One of the bedrooms is unfurnished save for a bed. Link.

If you ever wanted to contact Mike Arrington personally, just show up at his home in 44 James Avenue, Atherton, CA 94027 - he might let you in like the guys from Amsterdam who banged his door at midnight and were given entry. Picture Credit: Darcy Padilla of Wired.
