South and West Chandler is growing fast. Lots O'developments. New, nice, middle/upper-middle class. Red Mountain area of Mesa is very nice also. Know where the new freeways are going to be built. 101 and 202 freeways will stretch through both Mesa and Chandler. |

Two exits past Chandler is "Maricopa" Take it and head West 13.5 miles (Past Indian reservation and on the left you will see a brand new golf (PGA course) community. It's called "Rancho EL Dorado" New homes average about 100-160's there are some smokin deals.
A little out of the way, but well worth the drive. This area is going to be built up fast. |

[b]Try to get a home as close to your place of work as possible!!![/b]
The commute around here is getting worse and worse. Even with all the freeways being built, remodeled. I know several people that when the change jobs to a new part of town, they end up moving closer to their employment because of the commute. Or they quit their new job, just to find a position closer to home. You have been warned. |

Thanks for the help so far. It's good to know about the 101 and 202 freeway development. I would prefer not to buy a house and then have it bulldozed.
Are there any neighborhoods that I should avoid? |

Hey Guys!
He's moving to FA (Free America). Let's welcome him. Open carry CCW Class 3 free ranges (desert). Nice ranges (Ben Avery) Republicans!! Most cops actually like us mere mortals. Welcome. Get a nice stereo and good A/C in your car... I hope you don't feel like doing everything else in your car except driving, while you are driving.... Pay attention to your surroundings. Move close to work. I live 3 miles away. All side streets. I also live in Tempe (college chicks). Good luck. Keep in touch and we'll go shooting. |

They do some work with American Spirit Arms, though. The AZ shooting circle here is very close. We all know/hate/like each other. Scary sometimes. |

Oooohhh, ooohhh, ooohhh... the insurance issue was written up a couple of months ago in the paper. RichinCM, if you can... contact your insurance company. Ask for the rates by address!! Not by zip code (they tend to give that out first). That might be an issue for your housing choice. My agent was nice to pull out the map and show me that I am in the middle of the road for rate by location. Even though they are not supposed to show the public the map. When I saw it, my area of Tempe was on the low side, even though acouple blocks away it (closer to ASU) it went up. |

Whatever you do, where ever you buy a house, you need a pool! It's the only way to get thru the summer. I lived here all my life without one untill 3 years ago. Hated every summer until then.

Welcome to the GREAT FREE STATE of ARIZONA ! As you have read ,our auto insurance is out of hand here. I combat the high rates by living as close as I can to work. I'm lucky as my employer has facilities all over town.Just try to get as close as you can BUT do all your homework first before you purchase a home. Tax rates vary from city to city here.Also some towns are better to live in (they have more money= better amenities). Lots of GREAT PLACES to shoot in the desert( I have a 1200 meter range I use for tactical shooting).One last thing, I have had a pool in past homes- NEVER again. A pool is a large hole in the backyard that you put water & LOTS of money in. You'll never get your money out of one. Save the cash, get a nice 4x4 with some kind of camper & head to the mountains for a cooler climate. You'll only use the pool from mid May thru mid September anyway. Again ,WELCOME!

My fiancee and I just had a house built in Chandler. There are some VERY nice parts of town, and some parts that aren't so nice. We're closer to the south end, Ocotillo area. There are a few agricultural areas, which you might want to watch out for if you don't like the aroma of warm livestock on summer evenings.[;)]

You might want to check out Phoenix around 35th Avenue and Van Buren. Its the epi-center of the Arizona cultural and social scenes. You might want to arrive after dark, and remember, dress to impress!
