Belvedere & Tiburon

Does living in a small, affluent community with just over 2,000 residents sound like paradise to you? If so, Belvedere may be calling your name. This quiet city consists of only about one square mile of total area, and it offers residents a peaceful respite from urban life. Belvedere is enveloped by the San Francisco Bay on three sides, and locals reside primarily in one of three neighborhoods: Belvedere Island, Corinthian Island, and Belvedere Lagoon.

 

Belvedere is a quick commute into San Francisco, so many locals travel into the city for work. Belvedere itself doesn’t offer any shops or a downtown area, but neighboring Tiburon does. In fact, to reach Belvedere, you have to go through Tiburon, and while these are technically two different towns, they share amenities, schools and a zip code - 94920. In many senses, the two feel and function like one community. 

 

If you’re in search of a neighborhood with postcard-style views of the San Francisco Bay and cityscape, add Tiburon to the top of your list. This Marin County community was home to about 9,200 people as of 2019, giving it a small-town feel. Conveniently located near San Francisco, commuters can jump on the freeway or take advantage of the Blue and Gold fleet shuttles to quickly get into the city. While most of the homes in Tiburon come with premium price tags, for many residents, the cost is worth it. Tiburon is found in the highly coveted Reed School District, and the downtown area offers all the amenities residents could need, including a library, grocery store, restaurants, and coffee shops. Outdoor recreation is also plentiful, and residents can enjoy hiking or biking around Angel Island. There is plenty to love about this affluent community.

 

The two towns being located right on the water also makes boating, kayaking, and other water sports very popular in the area. With an amazing location and tight-knit community, there are plenty of reasons to consider Belvedere or Tiburon for your next move. Oh and the views from both towns is nothing short of amazing. with many homes looking at the San Francisco skyline, the Golden Gate Bridge or Mount Tamalpais.
