Where Values Make the Difference! Yep, that’s the city’s motto.  The city’s focus?  Qualify of life, a diverse culture and a modern mix of youth and tradition.  Here, the days are bustling, the nights are rustling and quality real estate abounds.

Chandler is a relatively new U.S. city founded in 1912 by its namesake, Dr. Alexander John Chandler, the first veterinarian surgeon in Arizona territory.  The savvy investor gave Chandler its humble beginnings by acquiring 18,000 acres of land that he turned into a town.  Over the years, the town turned into an expansive city.  It currently hosts the likes of several satellite offices of the computer chip manufacturer, Intel, along with a number of leading biomedical companies.

A prominent Phoenix suburb with a six-pack sprawling spread makes this city ripe for moving into.  Bordered by Mesa to the north, Tempe to the northwest, Phoenix to the west, Gilbert to the east and the Gila River Indian Reservation to the south, Chandler lacks nothing in places to go, people to see and things to do.

The city packs a powerful punch at first blush with a breathtaking, scenic mountain backdrop, its finely fixtured downtown, stunningly manicured streets, pristine parks and a variety of 183 beautiful neighborhoods in which to live.  You’ll find a feast of fancy townhomes and single-family dwellings.  Affordable gated and non-gated communities can be found in neighborhoods like Sunbird, Aborlane, Arizona Estates and Copperfield Estates.  More upscale living is on the market in mostly gated neighborhoods like Fulton Ranch, Metes & Bounds, Ironwood Country Club Phase T and Riggs Country Estates.  You’ll find high-end upscale living in gated communities, some which lie on the waterfront, such as Balboa Point, Crown Point, Trovita and Oakwood Hills.

There’s always something to do for everyone in Chandler, and its arid, urban environment lends itself to lots of outdoor activity.  Award-winning golf courses, four libraries, a vast variety of city parks, spray pads, ball fields, aquatic programs, a skate park, outdoor recreational programs, senior programs, along with all the quality entertainment you’d ever want is at your beck and call.

This city is most famous for two major events.  One is their Cinco de Mayo celebration, which hosts the popular annual Chihuahua races, with a crowning ceremony for the king and queen.  Another famous event you’ll find here is the Ostrich Festival, noted as one of the top ten festivals to attend in the country.  You won’t want to miss the fun and excitement.  The camel and ostrich races are a side-splitting spectator event.  From the Celebration of Unity and Multicultural Festivals in January to Woofstock - The Great Chandler Dog Walk, Home for the Holidays with Santa and Parade of Lights in November and December, you’ll never be bored in Chandler.
