Clayton Homes for Rent

Clayton, a historic neighborhood in Denver, was developed in the late 1800s and is located about 3 miles northeast of Downtown Denver. The area features a mix of traditional homes, including Queen Anne builds with turret-like gables and smaller bungalows, as well as modern townhomes in the Greenway Townhomes community. Clayton's streets are lined with local businesses and eateries, such as Rivers and Roads Coffee, Lucero’s Mexican restaurant, and Cohesion Brewing. The York Street Yards, a repurposed industrial space, offers coworking spaces, fitness centers, and hosts events like the Museum of Contemporary Art Denver gala and Denver Fashion Week. For outdoor activities, residents frequent City of Nairobi Park and Schafer Park, which offer playgrounds, tennis courts, and basketball courts. During the winter months, locals gather at indoor venues like Dive Volleyball and Sports Center. Clayton is safer than the national average, providing a low crime risk area for residents. The neighborhood is well-connected, with Interstate 70 located 2 miles north and the Denver International Airport about 20 miles away. Public transportation options include several bus stops and a commuter rail station less than a mile away. While the local schools in the Denver Public School District have average ratings, Colorado's open-enrollment policy allows students to apply to other schools. The neighborhood's rich history is highlighted by the Clayton Early Learning campus, originally founded as the Clayton College for Boys in 1911.
