What brings buyers to Pittsburgh today

Pittsburgh got its name in the 1880s when smoke from nearby rail yards reminded residents of Pennsylvania’s Steel City. Today, this Southwest Atlanta neighborhood still has a bit of an industrial feel, but it’s also evolving, thanks to its location along the Atlanta Beltline. A formerly vacant trucking terminal has been redeveloped into Pittsburgh Yards, a mixed-use space with offices, restaurants and a seasonal farmers market. Transportation also continues to shape the area, with nearby interstates and MARTA rail stations providing straightforward routes into the heart of Atlanta.

House styles and how much they cost

Pittsburgh has a mix of early-20th-century bungalows, many of which have been fully renovated, along with some contemporary new builds. These houses typically sit on compact lots, and small driveways often take up most of the front lawn. The median sale price here is around $310,000, which is less than Atlanta’s median of about $425,000. Houses that need some renovations usually start in the lower $100,000s, while updated homes and new builds can reach the upper $600,000s.

Parks on the Southside Trail and activities at Pittman Park

The Atlanta Beltline’s Southside Trail stretches along the neighborhood’s southern end, and the 4-mile route passes a handful of green spaces. You can make your way to Perkerson Park in Capitol View to play a round of disc golf, or head to D.H. Stanton Park in Peoplestown to cool off at the splash pad. Closer to home, Pittman Park gives you even more outdoor space, where you can:

  • Enroll your kids in swimming lessons at the pool
  • Walk or run along the track that circles the football field, where youth leagues have games
  • Use the basketball and tennis courts
  • Visit the Pittman Park Recreation Center, which hosts summer camps for kids and crafting workshops for seniors

What you’ll find at Pittsburgh Yards

Located just off the Southside Trail, Pittsburgh Yards is a popular spot to work, eat and hang out. As you wander around the 31-acre site, you’ll come across:
The Nia Building, which has coworking space and over 100 offices used by marketing agencies, law firms and nonprofits
Container Courtyard, a shopping and dining area with coffee shops, a plant store and other locally owned businesses
James Bridges Field, a green space that hosts a farmers market on the first Saturday of each month from March through October
A few restaurants and convenience stores are also scattered around the neighborhood, and Publix is about 2 miles away in Mechanicsville.

Where kids go to public school

Pittsburgh is zoned for Atlanta Public Schools. Kids in the neighborhood can attend Charles L. Gideons Elementary School, Sylvan Hills Middle School and Carver STEAM Academy, which offers Career, Technical and Agricultural Education pathways in fields like computer science, nursing and aviation. The neighborhood is also about 2 miles north of Atlanta Metropolitan State College and Atlanta Technical College.

How the neighborhood association supports the community

Residents can get involved with the Pittsburgh Neighborhood Association, which holds monthly meetings at the recreation center. The group helps organize and promote community events at Pittsburgh Yards, including regular yoga and Pilates classes. Volunteers also pitch in to take care of green spaces like the community garden at Welch Street Park.

Several MARTA transit stations are nearby.

Commute by car, bus or train

Interstates 75 and 85 run along Pittsburgh’s eastern edge, providing a direct route to Downtown Atlanta, about 3 miles away, and Midtown Atlanta, about 6 miles away. Driving to either place typically takes 10 to 30 minutes, depending on traffic. You can also get around by taking a MARTA bus or heading to nearby transit stations in West End or Oakland City, both less than 2 miles away.
