Belvedere is one of the smallest and oldest cities in California. It was incorporated in 1896 and is situated just north of San Francisco over the Golden Gate Bridge in Marin County. The City is surrounded by water and comprises two islands and an artificial lagoon, with a total land mass of just 0.5 square miles. With less than 1,000 residences and very little retail or commercial presence, Belvedere is known for its rich history, natural beauty, tranquility, and strong sense of community.
Despite its small size, Belvedere is a full-service city with police, public works, planning, building, finance, and administration departments. Residents love the tight-knit community, proximity to downtown and the San Francisco Yacht Club and the easy access to nearby Tiburon. The Belvedere Park is a hub for families and hosts outdoor monthly concerts in the summertime.
Homes on the lagoon are highly desirable for their easy access to non-motorized water activities like SUP, kayaks and small sailboats. Homes sited along the perimeter of the island have access to deep water docks and stunning views of the Golden Gate Bridge. Belvedere’s dining scene are the restaurants along Main Street in Tiburon like Bungalow Kitchen, Malibu Farm and New Morning Café.
