Belvedere, Italian for “beautiful view”, is one of the wealthiest towns and most expensive real estate markets in the nation, and is an Island extension of the Tiburon Peninsula. The town has fabulous views of San Francisco, the South Bay, the Golden Gate and Bay Bridges, and the East Bay Hills. In fact, almost any direction one gazes from Belvedere one is rewarded with breathtaking vistas.
Traditionally, an enclave of retired CEO’s, private equity barons, and banking titans, Belvedere is recently hosting more families especially on the Lagoon. Belvedere is a small island, less than one square mile in size, surrounded on three sides by the waters of San Francisco Bay and on the fourth side by the Belvedere Lagoon. The population is ~2,070 people, 55% female clustered in three primary neighborhoods: Belvedere Island; Belvedere Lagoon and Corinthian Island. The terrain is predominantly hilly and lush; many residences were designed by famous architects and/or are considered historically significant.
