New to Clayton?

Located just outside of Raleigh, North Carolina and the Research Triangle Park (RTP), Clayton is the largest town in Johnston County with a population just over 20,000 (2016 US Census estimate). According to North Carolina's Office of Budget and Management, Johnston County is currently projected to be the fastest-growing county in North Carolina over the next ten years. Affordable housing options, great schools,  diverse arts, and recreation options make Clayton the perfect place to live if you are looking to work within one of Clayton's own expanding business sectors (manufacturing, bio-pharmaceutical, health care, etc.). And Clayton's proximity to the future Southeast Extension of the Triangle Expressway (I-540) make Clayton a first choice if you plan to work in the nearby RTP area. Clayton's best asset, however, will never show up in the numbers. What makes Clayton a true gem is its small town heart and wonderful sense of community.
