After moving to Albany NY, I can’t say enough good things about where I grew up, at the 101 and Ray. I really miss the better hair/skin days, less bugs and dry heat.
Also the envious infrastructure. The grid system, maintained roads, highways. I could find ANYWHERE, even if I had never been there before, with someone telling me the freeway exit and which corner (ie northeast corner of 2 major streets). The lanes were wider and easy to get around in. If you missed a turn, you could easily take the next one or u-turn. Turning lanes and sidewalks everywhere! No tolls! Lots of parking lots, very rare steet or paid parking except for downtown (don’t move there).
Lots to do. Water parks, desert breeze park, the zoo, botanical gardens. There was mountainous hiking not too far away, 3D glow in the dark mini golf, ice rink, skating rinks, etc. Good froyo, cool drink and dessert spots, lots of Asian influence. Good eating like Greek, Vietnamese, Japanese…Oddly even the Wendy’s was good.

I LOVE-not like, but LOVE how clean it is. I LOVE how friendly the people are. I dislike the food. The food is not good like it is in Atlanta. I miss Atlanta's yummy delish food so much. I love the mountains in and around Chandler. They are great for a great workout! I LOVE the weather in Chandler. Although, today, is very cloudy and very cold! I have gotten spoiled living in Chandler because the tempetures are usually in the 90's on up to 110/117! YIKES! Others complain like my relatives when they come to visit, most do anyway, but some love the hot tempetkres like I do. I only wish Chandler had great places to eat like Atlanta does. The food in Chandler has zero flavor. Whereas, Atlanta, I would go to my: African (Kenyan) spot, Ethiopian place, Mediterranean restaurant my friend owns, Laos where they know me well, Indian, where the food is made exactly the way I want it and they love seeing my presence, Vietnamese place where they make yummy tofu, and so many more
Chandler is a great diverse place to live with a little bit of everything. As a suburb to the large city of Phoenix, it is a short drive from the thriving city life as well as from the outskirts of the desert for people such as myself that like outdoor activities like camping, hunting, and hiking. It is quite a safe place to live, even the low income sections of town are safe to walk at night. It mostly consists of middle class housing with some upper class neighborhoods. There are lots of highly acclaimed schools and jobs in all levels off the workforce. With its own well funded police department, it is a highly competitive to become a police officer and any form of bias is zero tolerance making it a very accepting place for people of any race, religion, sexual orientation etc.
I was born and raised in this nice suburb city and do not plan to move far from it if at all!
