Clayton, NC Townhouses for Rent

Clayton is a fast-growing town in Johnston County, just 16 miles southeast of downtown Raleigh with easy access to I-40 and US 70. If you're searching for apartments for rent in Clayton, you'll discover everything from contemporary communities near the Highway 70 Clayton Bypass to charming spots closer to the historic downtown. With over 30,000 residents calling it home, this Raleigh suburb strikes the right balance between small-town charm and suburban convenience.

Clayton apartments attract commuters heading to Research Triangle jobs who want more value outside the city center. You'll love the outdoor options here - take a stroll along the Clayton River Walk on the Neuse or hit Sam's Branch Greenway Trail for your morning run. The 32,000-square-foot Clayton Community Center has all your fitness needs covered. Downtown Clayton serves up local restaurants and shops worth exploring, plus the Clayton Center hosts performances in a beautifully restored historic school. Expect to pay around $1,340 monthly for a one-bedroom or $1,814 for a three-bedroom, with most communities featuring roomy layouts and updated amenities.
