Neighborhood Reviews & Questions
The Shore Acres and Nichols pocket lines the Suisun Bay waterfront in the Bay Point area grouped with Pittsburg, California, at the northwest edge of the map. The water is the draw: the Bay Point Regional Shoreline and the McAvoy Yacht Harbor are right here, with public shoreline access, a loop trail, and some of the best casual fishing spots around. This is the most affordably priced corner on the Pittsburg list, an older, modest waterfront neighborhood with a strong working-class history. The honest part is that the bargain comes with rough edges. The housing stock is older and shows it in places, retail is thin, and the area sits well away from the freeway and the busier parts of town. But for genuine waterfront and harbor access at a price that simply does not exist elsewhere near the bay, Shore Acres and Nichols hold a particular appeal for people who value the water over polish.
