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.
