These two quiet affluent towns come with breathtaking views, incredible weather, and offer residents a peaceful respite from urban living.
Where Bayfront Luxury Meets Small-Town Charm
Set along the southern tip of Marin County, the neighboring communities of Tiburon and Belvedere together form one of the most coveted residential areas in the San Francisco Bay Area. These waterfront enclaves offer sweeping views of the Golden Gate Bridge, San Francisco skyline, Angel Island, and Mount Tamalpais—all just a short ferry ride from downtown San Francisco.
Though distinct cities, Tiburon and Belvedere share a ZIP code (94920), a post office, and a seamless lifestyle connection. Residents enjoy walkable access between their neighborhoods, shared schools, yacht clubs, waterfront parks, and the scenic ferry terminal that provides easy access to both Angel Island State Park and San Francisco—just six miles across the Bay.
A Lifestyle Defined by Water and Views
Bound by water on nearly all sides, the Tiburon Peninsula captures some of the most stunning vistas in Northern California. Belvedere, encompassing about 2.4 square miles (mostly surrounded by water), features three exclusive neighborhoods—Belvedere Island, Belvedere Lagoon, and Corinthian Island—each with unique architectural character and many homes offering private docks or direct lagoon access.
Tiburon complements this with a charming downtown, vibrant marinas, and tree-lined residential streets where classic cottages meet modern architectural showpieces. The San Francisco and Corinthian Yacht Clubs anchor the local boating community, while the waterfront promenade and bike paths offer front-row views of sailboats gliding across the Bay.
Historic Character & Contemporary Style
Tiburon’s historic Main Street, affectionately known as “Ark Row,” dates back to the 1890s, when sea captains and artists moored their floating homes—called “arks”—in Belvedere Cove. Today, Ark Row retains that maritime charm with upscale boutiques, waterfront restaurants, art galleries, and cafés, blending history with sophistication.
Both towns boast diverse architecture—from Mediterranean villas and mid-century moderns to luxury contemporary estates—many thoughtfully designed to frame the spectacular surroundings.
Affluent, Active & Connected
These communities consistently rank among the most affluent in the United States:
Together, they offer a rare combination of tranquility, natural beauty, and convenient access to urban life. Despite their proximity to San Francisco, both enjoy milder, sunnier weather, often escaping the fog that blankets the city just across the Bay.
A Shared Vision of Coastal Elegance
Tiburon and Belvedere share more than a peninsula - they share a lifestyle: refined yet relaxed, exclusive yet welcoming. Whether it’s dining on the water, sailing from a private dock, exploring Angel Island trails, or simply savoring the sunset over the Golden Gate, life here is defined by effortless coastal luxury.
(Fun Fact: Belvedere is a sister city to Portofino, Italy—an apt pairing for a place whose name means “beautiful view.”)
