Way cheeper rent, more parking , flat geography, way hotter Summers , things are a bit more spread out. Just a few things I have noticed about P town, and east county in general. Growning up in SF , I have seen the difference for myself. My car feels a whole lot faster smashing through my old hood . The streets seem more small.

Pittsburg has come a long way in the last 10 years. They are really cleaning up the place as well as working on it's reputation. By no means is it Danville or Alamo (we still have a Wal-Mart!!), but it's getting cleaned up/built up. There are quite a few nice "mom and pop" restaurants with some other bigger names like La Veranda, La Pinata, Mecca and EJ Phair's.
Plenty of shopping centers around the area like the Antioch Mall/Sommersville Ave and tons of new stores on Lone Tree Way in Antioch/Brentwood. (new within the last 5 years)
Sorry to disappoint ya'll....this is not your typical CAFords response. I actually tried to answer the question!!! ![[Big Grin]](biggrin.gif)

Do not move to antioch!!! That's all I would suggest. I've lived in each town from Pitt to antioch to Brentwood to Oakley. I by far like Pittsburg the best antioch has gone to shit and if you keep good people around you Pittsburg won't do you any harm Brentwood is really chill has a lot of new attractions like a outside walk around mall antioch mall is desolate as can be Oakley is nice also. Bart is being pulled all the way to Oakley in the near future freeway widening is underway as we speak the bus company runs a healthy service so not much to complain about except antioch is being over run by kids with guns that think they are tough.

It's cheap, Pittsburg is better than Antioch, too much traffic, I lived in Pittsburg for 24 years and I couldn't wait to move out and there is no way I would let my kids go to school there.

Your better off just living in Martinez/concord area, it's a little expensive but it's worth it. Little cooler than Pitt/Antioch and a lot of nice older folks out here. Also a lot of gear heads out here, every garage you either see a hot rod or sports car.

Brentwood is alright but I prefer living a small distance from all of it rather than really close to one part of it. In Brentwood it's a mix of White and Spanish. In Pittsburg you get a whole meting pot. Also Brentwood has a lot of little kids in daddys big truck trying to show off and ruin their daddy's tires. Im telling you man. An older part of Pittsburg is were its at but a nice quite neighborhood in Brentwood isn't bad at all. 67-three lives in a nice area in the wood. Me and trickflow211 live on the same block in Pittsburg and I would say we both like/love it. 925gt lives in antioch down the street from the police station and it still gets ratchet as fuck lol but he's smart about his life. Anyways all I'm trying to say is live where you want YOU decide for yourself how it all plays out by watching who you keep around you and what you do

If your looking for a good town to raise a family then choose brentwood. Even though it has grown quite a bit in the last 15 years it still has a home town feeling. I have grown up in Pittsburg and antioch, by far brentwood has been my favorite place to live. It's got plenty of shopping and good local spots to eat at too.

Brentwood is know for its cornfest during July. That's its biggest festival during the year. It's got all the common chain stores and resturants. Pretty much all the stores you see anywhere else.

Red Robin, BJ's, Mel's Diner, plenty of Starbucks, digital movie theatre (one Imax screen, I believe). Buffalo Wild Wings, Johnny Carinos, Walgreens, Best Buy, huge Target, B&N, Kohls, etc etc.
Check Google maps for all the stores near the intersection of Lone Tree & Walnut Blvd. Then check for all the stores off Sand Creek. Then theres other smaller more quaint places downtown.
Downside: Highway 4 is ABSOLUTE HELL. I hate it, and I exit in Pittsburg.
