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.

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."
