Clayton, population 11,000, made it on the Money Magazine list of 100 Best Small American Towns:
"Clayton is a favorite spot for telecommuters; many residents work from home and go into their San Francisco offices once or twice a week. Home sales have remained high as buyers take advantage of falling real estate prices: million-dollar homes are now on the market for half that."
The Chronicle added its own tribute and noted that a recent stabbing was the first murder in Clayton since 1995.
So Clayton, California offers Bay Area residents a chance to experience a mid-sized city. It provides reasonable real estate, a decent economy and safe streets. If folks need to, they can get to Oakland or San Francisco to experience the big city. But most people seem quite happy enjoying the slower pace of Clayton.
