Living in Contra Costa County: California: Pittsburg

Commuting From Pittsburg Ca

When people consider homes in East Contra Costa County Commuting is always a key issue.  We have beautiful and affordable homes, but some people think they are a little far from where they work.

What I see is many people moving out this way that commute in off hours, work less (as they have a much smaller house payment) or use public transportation.  Many are excited about the expansion and widening of Highway 4 as well as the eBART Light Rail System going in.  

Some people choose Pittsburg Ca as a place to live as the Commuting is easy.  Railroad Avenue provides a short cut all the locals know - keep going up the hill and it become Kirker Pass Road and lands you in the heart of Contra Costa County on Ygnacio Valley Road.  Walnut Creek and Concord are major job centers accesable from Kirker Pass Road. 

Pittsburg Ca is also close to BART in Bay Point and is very close to the pass on Highway 4 that brings you right down to the wide highway and the 242 Junction; from that point many have smooth sailing.

Pittsburg Ca provides fine housing at an affordable price with an easy commute.  Take a look at these homes and then let me know what you would like to see.

Pittsburg Ca Deep Water Dock Homes

People don't often think of Deep Water Dock Homes when they think of Pittsburg Ca.  Well if you drive through the wonderfully redeveloped Old Town Pittsburg down towards the water not only will you find a Marina but you will find a community with Deep Water Dock Homes.

Pittsburg sets right on the Sacramento River just before if flows into the San Francisco Bay and is ideal jumping off spot of boating, fishing, water skiing or touring the delta. 

These Deep Water Dock Homes are very affordable and with the revitalized Pittsburg Ca downtown I think the value can only go up.
