Belvedere

One of the most affluent communities in Marin and frequently rated in the top 10 in California and on Forbes list as one of the most expensive places to live in the United States.  Belvedere means “beautiful view” in Italian and that it is.  You will find luxurious turn-of-the-century homes with fabulous views of the Golden Gate Bridge, Mt. Tamalpais, Richardson Bay, San Francisco, the East Bay and Angel and Alcatraz Islands.  The homes here are top notch with many older homes being torn down making way for new, modern estates to be built.  The streets meander around the island, and stairways can be found to get to town on foot.
