Rivers run through it

Rivers certainly do run in this Pittsburg neighborhood. In fact, the area is sometimes referred to as “The Gateway to the Delta” because it’s located near the convergence of the San Joaquin and Sacramento Rivers. And while the waterfront views are certainly one of the neighborhood’s strong features, River Run also has places to grab comfort food, parks for every kind of activity and a funky mix of architecture across its homes. Jason Dominguez, a Pittsburg native and Realtor with Blue Line Real Estate, speaks warmly of the community surrounding the neighborhood and beyond. "It's very multicultural and tight-knit. When I grew up, everybody looked out for everybody and it still feels like that. You go to the store and you’re bound to run into somebody you know."

Local and city-wide events

At the Pittsburg Branch of the Contra Costa County Public Library, residents can try lots of activities like children’s programs, ESL conversation groups and crafting events. Around the larger vicinity of Pittsburg, there are even more events, like the Pittsburg Police Department Annual Classic Car Show. According to Dominguez, watching the local high school football team is always something residents look forward to attending. "We all support the Pirates and wear the orange and the black. You can dislike your neighbors and you're still going to cheer alongside them at a Pirates game," he says.
