I lived in Phoenix from 03-05. Have always missed places like Prescott Sedona and flagstaff.
Moved back to Texas for oilfield work and access to Road course race tracks. The GF just got a nice offer for a job in Chandler. Just checking to see how that area is now a days. |

It's a hell-hole. Red light and traffic cameras on almost every corner. I think they run the entire city budget off of Redflex.
Not only will I actively boycott stores there, I try to avoid driving through the place at all cost. Queen Creek, Chandler Heights (which is really Maricopa Co) or Gilbert are all better. |

There are a total of 12 in the whole city. Seems to me that your upset maybe because you got flashed . |

Live in Gilbert and work in Chandler for the last 1.5yrs. Have yet to get flashed. |

there aren't many cameras. helps if you dont run red lights. maybe leave a minute earlier so you dont need to run red lights. Chandler is great. Low taxes low utilities and the police are there fast when you need them. low crime as long as you dont live right off az avenue near downtown area. only place better would possibly be gilbert unless you want to live further away from the city. |

Drive around and through Chandler for work fairly regularly. For years. No tickets yet...and I'm quite an aggressive driver that enjoys speeding as much as anyone. To me, frankly, you're borderline an asshole driver that's impeding traffic if you aren't pushing 10 over. I never have problems driving around Chandler the same as I do anywhere else in the rest of the valley.
To refer to a city like Chandler as a hell-hole solely because you've gotten the short end of the stick with speeding tickets there is a tad extreme to say the least. Anyways, OP, Chandler is a nice town in the valley. Surely one of the better cities to live in in the Phoenix area that has close enough proximity to most the relevant stuff the valley has to offer. |

Seems you need to learn how to drive better. Like not stomping on the gas and racing everyone. Simply following the rule of speed limit +9 and your safe would seem to save you lots of money and time. But hey, the only speeding ticket I've ever gotten in this state is a "Waste of Finite Resources". Cop was rather cool about it, for me doing +20 over the limit. I didn't see the sign dropping it down to 45. |

Live near the 202 I-10 intersection and love it, been here 26 years.
Quiet neighborhood, HOA is only $25 a month, started at $25 a quarter. 10 minutes to the Chandler Mall, maybe 15-20 to Skyharbor and another 10 or so to downtown Phoenix. If you want a large property you will have to move to the East Valley. |
