Clayton has a quaint, small-town feel in the Mount Diablo foothills
Near the foothills of Mount Diablo is the sleepy city of Clayton. This area is affectionately called “hometown Mayberry” by its residents for its parallels to the charming setting of the Andy Griffith Show. “Clayton has a small-town personality with a rich history. In the 1960s, locals wanted more control over the land’s development and moved to incorporate the city,” says Wendy Moore, a Clayton resident and Realtor with The Estates by Wendy Team. The mountain-adjacent Clayton has a bucolic feel with sloping landscapes, distant silhouettes of the sandstone ranges and a relaxed town center.

Many homes have a mix of decorative brick, lap siding and shingle exteriors. “Clayton has various types of housing. There are patio homes in Oaks Hollow, which range from $650,000 to $700,000,” Moore says. “The Black Diamond development has duets and attached housing from $700,000 to $1.2 million, depending on the condition. Near Dana Ridge are a mix of townhouses and detached duets.” She also says that Oakhurst Country Club is a large development with several smaller subdivisions. “These houses range from $800,000 to $1.8 million for executive-style estates,” Moore says.

Schools, including Mount Diablo Elementary and Diablo View Middle
The region is served by the Mount Diablo Unified School District, considered one of the top in the county according to Niche. “Clayton is attracting young families due to the area’s award-winning schools and educational opportunities,” Moore says. Mount Diablo Elementary earned a B plus on Niche and parents can expect a 30 to 1 student-to-teacher ratio. Diablo View Middle also received a B plus, with a student-to-teacher ratio of 23 to 1. Students often move on and graduate from Clayton Valley Charter High School. The school claims a 97% graduation rate and is one of the top charter high schools in the Bay Area, according to Niche. The high school promises career pathways in sports medicine, computer science, culinary arts and auto shop.

Downtown Clayton's local businesses
“Our downtown is three streets wide and three streets long. In the town center, we have a few small restaurants downtown and a bocce ball court,” Moore says. Downtown Clayton also has a historic watering hole, the Clayton Club Saloon. The establishment opened in 1873 and is considered one of the oldest bars in California. You can pick up a sweet treat at Sip’n Sweet, grab a slice of pizza at Skipolini’s or have a laid-back meal at Ed’s Mudville Grill. To the northwest, along Ygnacio Valley Road, which turns into Kirker Pass Road, are shopping centers with restaurants, grocery stores and retail. Clayton Station Shopping Center contains a Safeway supermarket, and Clayton Valley Shopping Center has a Grocery Outlet.
