Clayton Valley sits in the eastern half of Concord, primarily in 94519 and stretching into 94521. The neighborhood feeds into Clayton Valley Charter High — one of the most sought-after public schools in Contra Costa — which alone drives a lot of buyer demand here.
Most Clayton Valley homes are 1960s–1980s ranch and split-level single-family on 7,000–10,000 sqft lots. Median sits around $820K — a genuine discount to equivalent stock in Walnut Creek.
Clayton Valley Charter is the story. 10/10 GreatSchools, ~2,390 students, with close to 500 students on the waitlist every year. It's a charter conversion from the old Clayton Valley High, now with stronger academics and higher college placement than most Mt. Diablo Unified high schools. Attendance-boundary homes are in constant demand.
Buyers should know: not every Clayton Valley address is zoned for Clayton Valley Charter. I pull the exact attendance boundary before every tour because it meaningfully affects price and buyer interest.
