The latest information on Clayton County's efforts during the pandemic

Most housing in Clayton County consists of single-family homes, many of them mid-century suburban houses that are again rising in popularity with young families. Clayton County is also working to encourage developers to build homes in the $200,000- $300,000 range, to increase the diversity of the county’s housing stock and attract working families. Near term options will include denser, quality-built townhomes or accessible single-family tracts in walkable, mixed-use development neighborhoods.

Housing prices in Clayton County vary from the extremely affordable, less-than-$100,000 brick bungalows to million-dollar homes in the Lake Spivey area. The median list price of a home in Clayton County is $175,000 according to Realtor.com, which is great news for buyers. A county-wide average of $101 per square foot means a vast, 3,800-square-foot home in Jonesboro may be half the price of a similar home in one of Atlanta’s northern suburbs.

Several cities within Clayton County host community concert series and events throughout the year. These free or low-cost events are opportunities for community members to share in their appreciation for the arts. Many are outdoors during warmer months, allowing attendees to enjoy the area’s bountiful park facilities and great weather. Community entertainment venues include amphitheaters operated by the cities of Forest Park, Jonesboro, and Riverdale.
