    • The City of PiedmontLong an upscale enclave for San Francisco's elite, Piedmont is well known for being one of California's most desirable and upscale communities. Sought out by businessmen one hundred years ago for its natural beauty and effervescent and healthy climate, Piedmont began as a resort in the 1870s. Piedmont Park and Blair Park, offering natural springs, a hotel, and refined amusements, attracted wealthy pleasure seekers arriving by streetcar (and, later, cable car). In the 1890s, development of large estates increased and, by 1907, there was enough of a population to incorporate as a city.In Piedmont, The avenues swing toward the hills, giving, at each turn new and surprising vistas of lawns and gardens, with homes that have been adapted so intelligently to their sites that they seem to have grown where they are placed. Homes in Piedmont date mostly from the first half of the 20th century, with hundreds of unique and monumental homes of period revival style, as well as grand versions of the Craftsman bungalow and less classifiable homes designed by virtuoso architects.With a low density and a very residential character, the City of Piedmont has but one small retail center. However, the businesses of Piedmont Avenue are not far off, located just west of the city limits.
