What Everyone Gets Wrong About Moving to Chandler, AZ (And What You Need to Know Instead)
Ben Graham
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.
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 #4: “The housing market is easy to navigate.”
Reality: With low inventory and rising prices, Chandler’s real estate market is highly competitive. You need a guide who knows the terrain.

Misconception #6: “People keep to themselves.”
Reality: Chandler is full of welcoming neighborhoods. From block parties to school events, community matters here.
Misconception #7: “Property taxes are low.”
Reality: Compared to some states, sure. But depending on where you buy, they might surprise you.
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.
Just imagine locking in a home before prices rise again next year.
