Chandler

Tech jobs, good schools, and a buyer pool that sticks around

Chandler is the one I'd pick if I were buying a place to live, not just a rental. Intel and the tech corridor around Price Road keep jobs here, the schools are the draw for families, and that shows up in how long tenants stay put. The cost of all that stability is that deals are rare: when something is priced right in Chandler, it doesn't sit. You're paying for less drama, and around here less drama is worth something.

What will bite you

South of the 202 you cross a line — older neighborhoods, different feel, different prices. A "Chandler" address covers both, so walk the specific block, not the city name.
