What Locals Say about Clayton

Review Highlights

Clayton, NC: easygoing, pet-friendly, family hub with country feel and swift Raleigh commute. People love the quiet streets, trails, parks, good schools, and quick access to I-40 and Raleigh. They dislike rush-hour traffic, few sidewalks on Hwy 42, rapid growth, and occasional loose dogs.

"Nothing!! Neighbors & neighborhood do not do anything!! Most neighbors are not very friendly. We have neighbors that do not keep dogs on a leash and just allow them to roam around all day long. Now I can’t even walk my dogs anymore and I use to do it every day sometimes twice a day. Now unable to do it at all because my dogs freak out everytime dogs that are not in a leash approach us and they almost fight every time. It is extremely annoying!!! "
