A vibrant community with an evolving identity
Roughly 25 miles from Phoenix in the Southeast Valley, Chandler’s downtown district is a lively, walkable area filled with locally owned breweries, restaurants and shops that attracts residents of all ages. "There’s endless options for shopping, dining and entertainment,” says longtime East Valley resident Katrina McCarthy, a Realtor with Hague Partners. “The neighborhood's gone through years and years of change. Now there’s so many new shops and restaurants popping up, with a lot of historic houses that have been turned into popular businesses.” Single-family homes and townhouses here were built between the early 20th century and the early 2000s, and local Chandler Unified district schools are top-rated.
A broad offering of local eateries, bars and breweries for all tastes
Downtown's sidewalk-lined commercial core offers wide array of breweries, cocktail bars, restaurants and shops. The Ostrich serves cocktails in a speakeasy-style basement lounge, while The Perch Brewery doubles as a weekend boozy brunch spot and aviary, with dozens of caged tropical rescue birds on its rooftop dining area. For live music performances in a relaxed environment, locals can stop into West Alley Barbeque and Smokehouse, which serves Tennessee-style BBQ and classic comfort sides, or Bourbon Jack’s, a Western-themed bar and grill with classic American eats. For dessert any time, Pie Snob features a 24-hour pie ATM machine. Locally owned shops here include Blue Planet Outdoors, which sells outdoor and Arizona-related apparel, decor and accessories, and Saba’s Western Wear, for cowboy boots, hats and more. A few miles west, Chandler Fashion Center offers two stories' worth of popular retailers like Macy’s and Dillard's. Walmart and WinCo Foods can be found at the south end of downtown, on opposite sides of State Route 202.
Housing both old and new to suit an array of budgets and lifestyles
Homes in Downtown Chandler date as far back as the 1930s, and as recently as the 2020s. Modest midcentury ranch-style homes are common and range from around $250,000 to $400,000. Larger, renovated versions, as well as one-and two-story homes built since 1980 and featuring Spanish-style stucco exteriors and clay-tile roofs can range from $400,000 to over $1 million. Townhouses from the ‘80s and '90s start just under $300,000, while larger versions built after 2000 and set closer to the center of downtown can go for over $500,000.
Community gathering at Dr. A.J. Chandler Park near the renowned San Marcos Golf Course
In the downtown center, Dr. A.J. Chandler Park sprawls on both sides of Arizona Avenue. Surrounded by some of downtown’s most popular restaurants, this park is a grassy meeting place for locals, before and after a bite to eat. Several popular community events are hosted here throughout the year, including the Downtown Chandler Farmers Market on Saturdays, where visitors can buy fresh produce and artisan goods, and visit gourmet food trucks.
Southeast of Dr. A.J. Chandler Park is San Marcos Park, surrounded by a paved path popular with joggers and dog walkers, and home to a playground as well as basketball and sand volleyball courts. Across the street to the north, locals can tee off at the 18-hole San Marcos Golf Course, a community staple since 1913 that's listed on the National Register of Historic Places. On downtown’s east side, Chandler BMX has been welcoming kids and adults to its rugged, expansive course since 1977, and holds weekly competitive races.
Learning in the #1 school district in the state
Downtown Chandler belongs to the Chandler Unified School District, rated the top school district in Arizona by Niche; the district's open enrollment policy allows households to apply to schools outside of their zoned boundaries. Neighborhood students may start school at San Marcos Elementary, rated B by Niche, before continuing to the A-rated Bogle Junior High. The A-minus-rated Chandler High was named a Best U.S. High School for 2023-2024 by U.S. News & World Report, and students here can enroll in career and technical education courses in 16 different programs, including digital photography, agriscience and early childhood education.
An eclectic array of community events
Dr. A.J. Chandler Park hosts major community events throughout the year, including the two-day Downtown Chandler Barbeque Fest every March, with food from local BBQ vendors and drinks from local breweries and distilleries, and the Rockin’ Taco Street Fest each September, with creative takes on tacos from 20 local restaurants and food trucks, as well as a taco eating competition and lucha libre wrestling; those feeling adventurous can ride on the mechanical taco. Just south of downtown, Tumbleweed Park hosts the Ostrich Festival, Chandler’s largest and most popular annual event, every March over two consecutive weekends; with nods to the area's ostrich ranching history, the festival brings food and carnival rides, as well as large concerts by well-known national artists. On the northern side of downtown is the Chandler Center of the Arts, where residents can attend concerts, dance performances and plays at three different theatres or check out exhibits at two on-site art galleries.
An easy commute to Phoenix and beyond
Arizona Avenue is Downtown Chandler's main north-south thoroughfare, running parallel to State Route 87 and connecting immediately south and north to State Route 202. The 202 provides easy access to downtown Phoenix (25 miles away) and other Valley destinations, and also connects to Interstate 10, which travels east beyond Phoenix as far as Los Angeles, or west all the way to Jacksonville, Florida. Valley Metro bus stops line Chandler Boulevard, connecting riders with stops throughout the Phoenix Metro Area. Chandler Regional Medical Center is just 2 miles west, while Phoenix-Mesa Gateway Airport is roughly 12 miles east.
