ABOUT
PITTSBURG
Pittsburg is the largest city in Crawford County and a hub for Southeast Kansas, home to Pittsburg State University. If you're looking at homes for sale in Pittsburg, KS, you'll find a real mix: historic homes near downtown, established neighborhoods, newer construction on the edges of town, and rental and investment properties near campus.
At Burton Real Estate, we're in Pittsburg every day — not just as an area on a map, but as a place we know street by street. Whether you're buying your first home, moving up, relocating for work or Pittsburg State, or selling a home you've lived in for years, we'll give it to you straight and get the deal done.
Pittsburg's housing ranges from affordable starter homes and classic older houses to larger properties and new construction. Because Pittsburg sits right next to Frontenac, buyers often compare the two — Pittsburg offers more shopping, dining and amenities, while Frontenac is smaller and more residential. We'll help you weigh which fits your needs and budget.
