Clayton Rd, Westwood

Clayton Road is a major artery bisecting Concord from the Downtown area to the southeast where the city of Clayton itself is located. Clayton Road is the kind of three lane road that is almost a freeway and that gets packed bumper to bumper during rush hour as people flow into the more affluent sections of Contra Costa County.

You are pretty far out here on the far eastern portion of Concord, which of course means you will get your share of traffic when departing from here. It is also far enough out however where you do get some newer construction. I came here to see an apartment the other day that was brand new, and because the complex is still under construction it was going for under a $1000 for a one-bedroom, pretty nice even if it was only about 600 ft.

This section of Clayton Road is actually packed with condos and apartments. Recently condos around here have sold for less than $100K.

There are also a couple of churches and a funeral parlor along this stretch.

Unfortunately the schools around here tend to still be on the weaker side as they are throughout most of Concord. I can’t tell what crime is like around here but it does not have the look of a high crime area.

Overall it is an okay spot.
