Opportunity where the rivers meet
The City of Pittsburg is located in the San Francisco Bay Area, one of the largest populated, most diverse, and economically advanced regions in the world.
The City is strategically located near prestigious higher education institutions, such as UC Berkeley and UC Davis, and is the home of Los Medanos College, the sixth ranked community college in the nation.
Pittsburg offers everything from deep water channel access and two BART Stations to an active community expected to grow by nearly 20,000 over the next two decades. Land in Pittsburg is also more affordable than other parts of the Bay Area, with an average land cost significantly lower than San Francisco, Oakland, and San Jose.
