Pittsburgh, located between Adair Park and Peoplestown, is a historic and industrial Atlanta neighborhood with brick warehouses and a rail-lined streetscape. The neighborhood’s character concentrates around the Pittsburgh Yards campus on University Avenue, where studios, maker spaces, and small-batch food vendors share former industrial buildings. Rows of early-20th-century bungalows and duplexes sit alongside working corridors and wide rights-of-way. Pittsburgh Yards and the NPU-V community spaces act as cultural anchors for local events and creative work. The Southside BeltLine Trail frames the eastern edge with a linear route for walking and biking. Parks and recreation fields add open-air breathing room between the rail lines and arterials.

R-4B
Single-Family Residential District
The intent of this chapter in establishing the R-4B Single-Family Residential District is as follows: To provide opportunities for low- and moderate-income single-family dwellings that are centrally located and accessible to public transportation, jobs and social services.; To provide a specific alternative to close-in neighborhoods, now zoned for multi-family residential use, to implement a transition to a single-family residential development pattern consistent with objective (1) above.; To increase the affordability of single-family residential dwellings in close-in neighborhoods by permitting such dwellings on small lots with reduced setback requirements thus decreasing land development costs.; To provide additional opportunities for affordable in-fill single-family residential development without permitting the down-zoning of existing single-family zoned areas and thereby preserving existing neighborhoods as contemplated in the adopted comprehensive development plan.; To permit new development in a manner compatible with existing development.; To provide for the development of recreational, religious and educational facilities as basic elements of a balanced community.
