Neighborhood Reviews & Questions

Neighborhood Review
Key Words: Downtown Waterfront, Railroad Avenue, Marina Park

City Center is downtown Pittsburg, California, the oldest and most walkable part of town, where Railroad Avenue runs down to the marina and the San Joaquin River. This is where Pittsburg actually has a street life: Old Town restaurants, the waterfront, the 28-acre City Park, and the Pittsburg Center eBART station sitting right in the Highway 4 median at Railroad Avenue for an easy commute. If you want to leave the car at home for dinner or a walk along the water, no other Pittsburg neighborhood comes close. The marina and riverfront are the real draw. The honest part: this is also the part of town with the most visible rough edges, and the blocks shift in feel from one to the next. Downtown is in the middle of a slow revitalization, which means new housing and restaurants next to older, tired stretches. You are buying walkability and water, with the understanding that the polish is still a work in progress.
