== Houses == Depending on where their homes are located, residents of Belvedere enjoy views of [[Bay Area|San Francisco]], [[Angel Island (California)|Angel Island]], [[Sausalito, California|Sausalito]], the [[Golden Gate Bridge|Golden Gate Bridge, San Francisco and Richardson Bays]], and [[Mount Tamalpais]].{{citation needed|date=December 2017}} Houses on Belvedere and Corinthian Islands encompass a range of periods and architectural styles from Victorian to Mediterranean to post-and-beam "mid-century modern". Many are "cliff-hangers". Houses on the Belvedere Lagoon were designed by architects in the 1950s and 1960s. Houses on the lagoon have their own boat docks. Many of the homes on Belvedere and Corinthian Islands have docks with access to San Francisco Bay. A number of Belvedere homes are listed on the National Register of Historic Places; e.g., the Valentine Rey House<ref>{{Cite web|title = National Register #82002203: Rey House in Belvedere, California|url = http://noehill.com/marin/nat1982002203.asp|website = noehill.com|access-date = December 24, 2015}}</ref> designed by [[Willis Polk]] and built in 1893. Notable designers of homes in Belvedere have included Joseph Esherick, [[Albert L. Farr|Albert Farr]], who designed the Belvedere Land Company building<ref>{{Cite web|title = Cupola's Arts and Crafts Architecture - Belvedere Land Company (1 of 3)|url = http://www.cupola.com/html/bldgstru/artscrft/slide/belve01e.htm|website = www.cupola.com|access-date = December 24, 2015}}</ref> and cottages, Henry Gutterson,<ref>{{Cite web|title = Henry H. Gutterson - Western Neighborhoods Project - San Francisco History|url = http://outsidelands.org/gutterson.php|website = outsidelands.org|access-date = December 24, 2015}}</ref> and [[Charles Warren Callister]]. New construction has become a contentious issue as residents have become frustrated with large projects that they believe are negatively affecting the character of the community. [[File:San Francisco Yacht Club House c 1894.JPG|thumb|right|San Francisco Yacht Club House {{Circa|1894|lk=no}}]] Belvedere is a residential community. The nearby town of Tiburon provides services, shops and eateries. Two yacht clubs are located in Belvedere: the [[San Francisco Yacht Club]] and the Corinthian Yacht Club.<ref>{{Cite web|title = Home - Corinthian Yacht Club|url = http://www.cyc.org|website = www.cyc.org|access-date = December 24, 2015}}</ref><ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.sfyc.org/|title=San Francisco Yacht Club|access-date=December 3, 2007| archive-url= https://web.archive.org/web/20071201034737/http://www.sfyc.org/| archive-date= December 1, 2007 | url-status= live}}</ref>
