Living in Arizona - 6/22/2006
Chandler Arizona is a beautiful place to live. We only hoped that we could have moved before 2 years ago. We were caught up in the "mad rush". We have a beautiful home on a cul-de-sac lot 1/4 acre with a lagoon style pool and lush palm trees surrounding it. We relocated from Michigan 2 years ago, but Chrysler sold their proving grounds (5500 acres) to Toll Bros and I will be out of a job by the fall of 2007. We will probably move to Maryville Tn, where it will be much more affordable to live. They don't have meat stores here like they do in Michigan. Their fruit is not as good either. Must be the heat. They do have a lot of oranges! I guess I'm not cut out for the Western style of life. I miss the rain and working in my garage on my hot rod. You have to have air conditioning in your garage out here, it is way too hot to go into your garage during the summer months. We just jump in the pool to cool off. That's about

Don't move to the Phoenix valley unless you absolu - 5/11/2006
speeding, reckless drivers; driving miles out of your way due to road construction in every direction; breathing in pollution; being scared to drive on the highway due to fear of being shot; staying indoors 8 months out of the year because it's sizzling hot outside; draught; increasing population of non-speaking folks...yes, there is more and yes, I am moving out of this state but want to write my thoughts to anyone who is considering moving here before they make the change. Yes, it IS a 100% desert. Make sure you LOVE finding black widows and scorpions in your house as well since they will be your

It IS a desert, afterall!! - 4/24/2006
While many, many people are moving into this thriving metroplex (the greater Phoenix area), they are wanting their climate and 'visual' lives to be similar to whence they come. But, this IS a desert, so we should refrain from trying to change it too much! It is supposed to be dry and not so green

comments on chandler - 4/17/2006
Chandler is a booming and growing community. the schools have a relatively strong reputation, though arizona ranks horribly on a national level. there are new neigbhorhoods constantly being developed, as well as more "mature" neighborhoods filled with trees, etc.
people are generally friendly, though the block walls that are standard to most properties make it much more challenging to casually get to know your neighbors - a criticism i have of the entire east

sad to live here - 1/17/2006
I've lived in Chandler for 20 years and watched it turn from a caring farming community where it was safe to walk down the road at any time to a place that is overloaded and busting at the seams. It's no longer safe here and farms??? what farms, growth has moved everything away.. mountain views turned into pollution. Breathe in the brown cloud phoenix and now all of its metro areas have to
