Convenient suburb near Pittsburg’s Old Town and marina districts

Chester Manor is a smaller suburb in Contra Costa County, just off East Bay’s main Highway 4. It is near downtown Pittsburg and the Pittsburg Marina, which sits along the San Joaquin/Sacramento River. “It’s close to a lot of great restaurants where you can sit outside and look at boats,” says Joanne Hodge, a Realtor with Keller Williams Realty and a longtime Pittsburg resident. “Plus, we have the BART, which connects us to San Francisco.” Along with location perks, residents are drawn to family-friendly Chester Manor for its commuter convenience and lower price points for homes in the East Bay.

One-level bungalows and two-story contemporary homes
