Revitalization in one of Atlanta’s oldest neighborhoods

Situated in southwest Atlanta, Pittsburgh was named after the Pennsylvania city because the rail yards produced smoke reminiscent of the factory smog in the northern city. Located 2 miles from downtown, this historically Black community is one of the oldest neighborhoods in Atlanta and appears on the National Register of Historic Places. Pittsburgh has an active neighborhood association that works to uplift the community and preserve its history. The area retains some of its earliest buildings, though there has been recent revitalization, which includes new developments like Pittsburgh Yards. With existing amenities like Pittman Park and recent developments connecting the neighborhood to the BeltLine, Pittsburgh is an evolving community that maintains its historical roots.

Pittsburgh Yards is a new space to work and relax

For shared green space, residents can go to Pittman Park. Located in the heart of the neighborhood, the park features basketball and tennis courts, a playground and a community pool. It also hosts a recreation center with an indoor gymnasium. Residents can walk on the BeltLine’s Southside Trail along University Avenue. “The Beltline and the development of Pittsburgh Yards has really helped the neighborhood,” says Derrick Duckworth, a Realtor with Call It Closed International who has served Atlanta for 15 years. Pittsburgh Yards is a collection of office buildings, coworking spaces and proposed retail locations designed to attract resident-led businesses and drive economic growth in southwest Atlanta. Phase One is finished, and the rest of the project is in development. When completed, Pittsburgh Yards will offer space for residents to play, work, and gather on the BeltLine.

Walk the BeltLine or hop on the MARTA

“Being an in-town neighborhood, there’s great access to the city, the BeltLine and MARTA,” Duckworth says.

Locals can walk to some amenities on sidewalks along residential streets. Residents can access Interstate 85 in the southeast corner of the neighborhood.
