Clayton

Welcome to Clayton

Clayton is a city just east of Concord with a population close to 11,000.  Residents here enjoy the small town feel which includes a quaint Main St. with restaurants & bars and numerous city festivals throughout the year, as well as some spectacular views of neighborhing Mt. Diablo. 

Clayton tends to be less expensive for housing than nearby Walnut Creek, but more expensive than many areas in neighborhing Concord.  You can see more information about Clayton at the city's website, https://ci.clayton.ca.us/.  

Schools

All of Clayton sits within the boundaries of the Mt. Diablo School District.  Clayton has one elementary school, Mt. Diablo Elementary and one middle school, Diablo View Middle School, within the city.  Previously, students in this area were designated for Clayton Valley High School in Concord, but since Clayton Valley became a charter school in 2012, students who prefer to remain in the Mt. Diablo School District for high school may submit a "Choice" to the school district to attend any of the high schools in the district subject to availability.  You can see more information about Clayton Valley Charter School's enrollment process at this link.
