Laid-back Tucker suburb with a close community
On the edge of Gwinnett and Dekalb counties, Pittsburg is an unincorporated community within Tucker, Georgia. Less than 20 miles northeast of Downtown Atlanta, this family-oriented community enjoys a relaxed pace of life. "The people who've been here a long time are close-knit. In my neighborhood, everybody knows everybody. Twenty-six of us just went on a cruise together," says Lucy Newton, resident of the area since 1969 and Realtor at Realty Associates of Atlanta. "There's a lot of people who've moved into the area more recently, so it's not as close-knit at first, but they get there after a while."
Pittsburg is a diverse neighborhood with many top-rated schools and a close-knit community feel.
Among Pittsburgh's real estate options are neighborhoods with all-brick mini-estate-style homes.

Ranches, split levels, and some newer townhouses and homes
Pittsburg has a variety of midcentury modern homes, ranches and split-levels built in the 1950s and 60s. These homes usually cost between $400,000 and $500,000 and often sit on half-acre lots dotted with mature oaks and maples common to the area. There's also a sprinkling of more recently built single-family new traditional homes and townhouses. "The values of homes have skyrocketed," Newton says. "There's not a lot of development happening. There's been a few subdivisions added, but many people are renovating existing homes. They're talking down walls, opening them up and modernizing them."
Ranch-style homes are quite a popular choice among Pittsburgh residents.
Some residents of Pittsburg prefer townhouse living, with its charm and low-maintenance.

Children cool off during Georgia's hot summers at the splash pad at Graves Park. The park also has a sand volleyball pit, soccer pitch, playground and dog park.

These crisscrossing strands of highway at the intersection of Interstates 85 and 285 take locals to Buckhead's upscale shopping centers or Downtown Atlanta's nightlife.

Dining at Matthews Cafeteria and The Varsity

The owner is wonderful as far as her knowledge of wine is concerned, and there are great gifts there." Restaurants along Main Street include Matthews Cafeteria, which has served the community since 1955. This family-run old-school restaurant serves Southern comfort food like barbecue ribs, chicken and dumplings, country fried steak and sweet tea.
