You should probably qualify this as Clayton Blvd, instead of Clayton the township.

Yup, Clayton the township is about as calm as you can get. Bit of a hidden gem out here at the entrance to Mt Diablo.

There is Chipotle, a decent Indian place, and a Flemings or Ruths Chris if you feel like a massive splurge. What else do you need?

Get that!
All these murders this year are right by Monument... source: Contra Costa Times.
Dec. 1: Luis Estrada , 16,Martinez resident found shot to death in Hillcrest Park, off Olivera Road
Nov. 20: Arturo Fernando Arellano, 36Concord resident found shot to death near Monument Boulevard and Erickson Road
Oct. 30: Robert Ortega, 25Concord resident found shot to death near corner of Monument Boulevard and Lacey Lane
Sept. 12: Erick Cruz, 20Concord resident found dead in courtyard of Pine Meadows apartments, 1100 block of Meadow Lane
My g/f lives in El Sobrante off Valley View and it's a nice area. Pretty quiet and still close to lots of stores and a few minutes from 80.
Her neighbor's house just went up for sale. It's just under 1,500 sq.ft. though and they're asking too much.

The Dec 1 incident doesn't count as "near monument". The other three....ok, yeah.

There are some sketchy areas off monument.
The closer to pleasant hill you get on monument it gets better.
Also it kind of seems like Monument is like the proverbial train tracks. One side is worse then the other side. Oak grove for example right at monument and on the side by food 4 less is bad. The side closest to treat is nice.

Damn, you got me. Isn't that just open space?? I think it maybe separated by unincorporated area.

Yeah there's a lot of nothing in between. The crappiest parts of Pittsburg are East of Railroad Ave and anywhere north of the train track.

Well I'm sure you've already figured out budget is everything and unless you want to share your price range I don't know how much good everyone's help is going to do for you. Nice schools and neighborhoods are all expensive and expensive is obviously relative.
FYI, Martinez does border Pleasnt Hill. My backyard actually opens up to Pleasant Hill open space and I'm in the Pleasant Hill School district even though I have a Martinez address. I have my kids going to Martinez schools though, I'm sure some of you are like
WFT. I've lived in the City of Clayton near Seeno's house, North Concord, and several parts of Martinez. Again without your budget I can't be of much help to you, maybe I missed it.
