Clayton County pairs everyday convenience with standout attractions, sitting just south of Atlanta along I‑75 and key commuter routes. Residents appreciate quick trips to the world’s busiest airport, plentiful parks, and a calendar full of community events, all without giving up affordable housing options and diverse neighborhoods.
History and culture are on display in Jonesboro, the county seat, where preserved architecture and local museums meet cozy eateries and arts programming. In Forest Park, global cuisine and bustling markets speak to the area’s rich diversity, while Morrow offers retail at Southlake Mall and acclaimed performances at Spivey Hall. Outdoor time comes easy at the wooded trails of Reynolds Nature Preserve and at Clayton County International Park, home to lakes, ballfields, and family-friendly amenities.
Families benefit from the breadth of Clayton County Public Schools, including specialty programs and career pathways. Higher education and workforce training get a lift from Clayton State University, whose lakeside campus anchors local arts, research, and continuing education. Whether you’re seeking a quiet cul‑de‑sac, a townhouse near transit, or a larger lot with room to grow, the county delivers options that fit a range of budgets and lifestyles.
