Thinking of making a move to Chandler, Arizona? You’re not alone. But before you pack those boxes, let’s clear up a few things that could trip you up. Because while Chandler is one of the best places to live in Arizona, many folks make decisions based on myths — and it costs them time, money, and peace of mind.

Let’s walk through what people think Chandler is like… and what it’s actually like.

Misconception #1: “Sports aren’t a big deal here.”

Reality: Whether you’re a fan of football, baseball, basketball, or spring training, Chandler is packed with passionate fans and plenty of ways to get in the game.

Want to live near the action?

Misconception #2: “It’s just a sleepy suburb.”

Reality: Chandler is one of the fastest-growing cities in Arizona with a booming tech scene, amazing restaurants, and vibrant neighborhoods.

Misconception #3: “There’s nothing to do socially.”

Reality: From food truck Fridays to family festivals, golf tournaments, and farmers markets, the calendar is packed.

Misconception #8: “Construction is temporary.”

Reality: Chandler is growing fast — and that means ongoing construction is part of the lifestyle. But it also means opportunity.
