Pittsburg/Antioch CA - recommendations?

[Sheeva R.]

Hi everyone,

I wanted to get peoples sense on the Pittsburg/Antioch area. What type of reputation does this area have and how has it been changing? I am wondering about average demographic and if the area in general is felt to be growing.

When you look at a population map, that has one of the highest populations in the East Bay area but I didn't know much about the area.

Hoping for some advice, thank!

My portfolio is spread across Antioch, Bay Point and Pittsburg.  Yes they are working class and there is crime, but you are not living there so why does it matter.  Because of the housing shortage there are no vacancies and my rents go up every year.  My only regret is not buying more during the downturn.
