Clayton is a town in Johnston County, North Carolina, and considered a satellite town of Raleigh. As of 2010, Clayton's population was 16,116 people. Much of that growth can be attributed to the town's close proximity to the Research Triangle area and access to major highways such as I-40, U.S. 70, and NC 42.
In 2006, construction began on the Highway 70 Clayton Bypass, a 10.5-mile (16.9 km) stretch from Interstate 40 along the southern portion of Clayton to Highway 70 business in Smithfield. It was completed in June 2008.
Town Hall is located at 111 East Second Street and it is shared with The Clayton Center Auditorium and Conference Center.

Community engagement.
Nice and quiet
Yes, I would recommend this community to my older friends and family, particularly because of its strong support systems for seniors, good transportation access, and opportunities for meaningful community engagement.
From a livability perspective, the area is generally clean, safe, and quiet—ideal for those looking to enjoy a peaceful lifestyle. Local services for seniors, including mature caregivers like myself, are accessible and dependable. As someone with clinical experience and CNA-related training, I’ve had the opportunity to assist elderly individuals in both home and assisted living settings. This has given me firsthand insight into how supportive and well-structured the caregiving system is here.
