Living in Chandler
Tech jobs, top rated schools and a downtown that keeps getting better.
Chandler anchors the southeast Valley with one of Arizona's strongest job bases. Intel's campuses and the Price Road tech corridor sit inside the city, and that employment gravity shows up in the housing market: steady demand, well kept neighborhoods and some of the most consistent resale values in the metro. Downtown Chandler has grown into one of the Valley's best small downtowns, with restaurants, breweries and a year round events calendar around Dr. A.J. Chandler Park.
Housing runs from 1980s and 1990s neighborhoods near downtown and the 101 to the lake and golf communities of Ocotillo and Fulton Ranch in south Chandler, where waterfront lots and custom homes push well above the city's typical price point. Angela has closed homes in Chandler and represents buyers and sellers throughout the East Valley alongside her West Valley base.
