Houses
Belvedere sits on the south side of the tip of Tiburon Peninsula, a small peninsula that extends into the San Francisco Bay. Many Belvedere properties are renowned for their spectacular views of the Bay Area, Angel Island, San Francisco, Sausalito, the Golden Gate Bridge and Mount Tamalpais. As a result, land values are extremely high. As of 2000, 87.6% of the city's owner-occupied housing units cost more than $1,000,000,[3] compared with 2.3% for California as a whole[5].
Many houses in Belvedere fall under the Victorian Style of architecture.[citation needed]Some Belvedere homes are featured on "The Home Tour" every May.[citation needed] With a recent flood of attention and demand for housing in Belevedere, housing and building has become a contentious issue as older members of the community have increasingly become frustrated with the large construction projects being developed in what once was a more humble community.[citation needed]
[edit] Community Life
No restaurants or stores are allowed in Belvedere, and the city enforces strict rules regarding house design and setbacks in order to preserve trees, views, and the town's spacious, wooded character.[citation needed] The adjacent city of Tiburon, however, is home to a wide range of services, shops, and eateries.
Originally a fishing based community,[citation needed] Belvedere has grown into a sailing community where the San Francisco Yacht Club is located.[6] Belvedere Park is also located in Belvedere.[citation needed]
[edit] Demographics
As of the census[2] of 2000, there were 2,125 people, 956 households, and 656 families residing in the city. The population density was 1,519.4/km² (3,968.9/mi²). There were 1,059 housing units at an average density of 757.2/km² (1,977.9/mi²). The racial makeup of the city was 96.94% White, 0.09% Black or African American, 0.05% Native American, 1.79% Asian, 0.05% Pacific Islander, 0.52% from other races, and 0.56% from two or more races. 2.16% of the population were Hispanic or Latino of any race.
