Community near Old Town Pittsburg
Garden Heights is a small bedroom community in Pittsburg, with a convenient location next to main highway thoroughfares, recreational parks, and local dining and shopping centers. “It has great access,” says local Realtor Lindsay Mandjek with The Mandjek Group. “It’s right off Highway 4 and a straight shot to Old Town.” Just two miles away from the city’s more lively lifestyle center, homeowners here enjoy quieter, classic suburban living amongst tree-lined, well-maintained neighborhood streets within walking distance of public schools. This Contra Costa County enclave also boasts a strong sense of community, providing a more well-established residential landscape. “Some homeowners have been here for 20 years, and they really like where they live,” Mandjek says.
Lower starting home prices
The neighborhood’s homes were primarily built in the 1960s and 1970s. These tend to offer between 1,200 and 1,800 square feet and various exteriors, including stucco and vinyl siding or brick accents. The most common housing styles are bungalows and traditional one-level homes. One of the biggest draws for homeowners in Garden Heights is the area’s relatively low price points compared to other parts of Contra Costa County. Housing prices typically start around $400,000 for fixer-upper homes and can go as high as $660,000 for updated, move-in-ready properties with three to four bedrooms and more spacious front yards. Despite the modest sizes, the neighborhood’s yards are well-kept, and residents show pride in ownership.
