A place to live, work, and play

On account of its jobs, affordability, schools, and many daily conveniences, Chandler is often dubbed one of America’s most livable cities, and the West Chandler neighborhood, in particular, is no exception. The neighborhood is home to a thriving shopping mall, with top-rated schools, well-planned subdivisions, and easy access to transportation. Still, according to Dean Selvey, who has sold more than 50 homes in the neighborhood as the CEO for Arizona Builder Sales of RE/MAX Excalibur, “Mostly, it’s about jobs,” he says. “There are tens of thousands of tech jobs within a very reasonable commute in the West Chandler area.” The West Chandler employment corridor encompasses seven square miles of the neighborhood, hosting more than 630 businesses that employ more than 29,000 workers.

Affordable housing options

Most homes in West Chandler were built in the 1980s and 1990s. Because of that, Selvey says the neighborhood is more affordable than others in the area. “If you go into Southeast Chandler and Gilbert, you get a lot of newer homes,” he says. “There’s not a lot being built in West Chandler, so that’s really why it’s a little bit more affordable.” Homes are often Spanish-style or ranch-style homes on well-planned suburban streets with sidewalks and many cul-de-sacs. Townhomes and condos can also be found, and there’s also an airpark subdivision in the neighborhood that includes personal hangers and shared runway access. Pricing starts at around $335,000 for a typical three-bedroom home in the neighborhood, but estates in one of the neighborhood's more luxurious subdivisions can go as high as $2.7 million.

A shopping and dining epicenter

The West Chandler neighborhood is a prime location for those who love shopping, as some of the valley’s biggest destination shopping centers are within 10 to 20 minutes of home. Without a doubt, Chandler Fashion Center anchors the neighborhood with its name-brand stores, luxe movie theater, and long list of restaurants. Along Interstate 10, the neighborhood's western border, residents can quickly access Arizona’s only IKEA, the Phoenix Premium Outlets, and the enormous Arizona Mills outlet mall. When it’s time to fill the fridge, residents can take their pick from several grocery chains in the neighborhood, including Fry’s, Bashas’, and Albertsons. Dining options run the gamut from familiar favorites like The Cheesecake Factory and Benihana to locally-loved options like Helluva Brewing Company, Wonderful Wanda’s, and Perfect Pear Bistro.

Where to find major events

The biggest event of the year is the Chandler Ostrich Festival, which hosts ostrich-themed activities, carnival rides, concerts, and plenty of fair food. Thousands attend the festival in Tumbleweed Park, which is only a 10-minute drive from the West Chandler neighborhood. Chandler Fashion Center hosts a full calendar of events closer to home, from fitness classes to vendor markets.

Two school districts

West Chandler’s youngest learners attend schools in the Kyrene School District, like Kyrene de la Paloma Elementary School, rated A-minus by Niche, and Kyrene del Pueblo Middle School, rated A. High schoolers attend schools in the Tempe Union High School District, like Corona del Sol High School, rated A. Corona del Sol offers a dual enrollment program with Rio Salado College that allows high school students to earn college credit and high school credit simultaneously — and save money.

Neighborhood and city parks

Getting around West Chandler and beyond

With access to Interstate 10, Loop 101, and Loop 202, West Chandler is only 20 to 25 minutes from Sky Harbor International Airport and downtown Phoenix. Although there is no light rail service in Chandler, bus routes connect residents in West Chandler to Valley Metro Rail stations in nearby Tempe.
