Local Information
Clayton
A Small Town Convenient to Everything
Clayton grew overnight into the most popular small town in the Raleigh area. One reason? Its short commute to Raleigh. Clayton is a happy medium for home buyers who want the peace and quiet of a rural community with all the convenience of a major suburb.
But convenience is not all Clayton has to offer. Though it has grown rapidly in population, it hasn't lost its character. Downtown Clayton is still a destination filled with locally owned and operated businesses, from fine dining establishments to jewelry stores and boutiques.
