Named after its northern counterpart in western Pennsylvania, Pittsburgh was founded in 1883 as a black working-class suburb alongside the Pegram rail repair shops that serviced the four streetcar lines into the town. Today, the neighborhood is in the midst of gentrification and urban renewal with property values rising. It is one of the last few neighborhoods in Atlanta where housing is affordable and charming properties can be purchased and transformed into terrific investments. Savvy buyers, real estate salespeople, and investors are on the increase in Pittsburgh.

Its rich history has provided Pittsburgh with a variety of architectural styles such as Tudor Revival, bungalow, and Craftsman. Residents have two active groups: the PittsburghAtl Homeowners United and Pittsburgh Neighborhood Association. Pittsburgh’s proximity to the Beltline gives it additional appeal. The Southside trail connects the Eastside and Westside trails. One of the largest developments that is revitalizing the area is Pittsburgh Yards, a repurposed former brownfield site into a mixed-use destination. Phase 1 opened in late 2020 and in 2021 the Nia building opened, and regular community events began to be held on its green space. When families need a space to play and relax, they turn to the Pittman Park Recreation Center to use its picnic tables, playgrounds, swimming pool, and tennis and basketball courts. This highly transitional neighborhood has flown under the radar, but its bright future has it primed for growth.
