Belvedere
Belvedere (Italian for
beautiful view) is
an ultra-exclusive community. The entire island consists of
only half a square mile of land, and it is one of the wealthiest
areas in the world. Surrounded by breathtaking views of San
Francisco,
the Golden Gate Bridge, Bay Bridge, Angel Island, Mt. Tamalpais
and the Belvedere Lagoon,
Belvedere is very much like its sister city Tiburon. Belvedere
shares a downtown and many amenities with Tiburon. The
island is infamous, and during summer weekends cars crawl
around it with visitors gawking at the beauty of the area.
