Arden Park in Chandler Arizona is a Neighborhood with Everything!

 A house bought on a whim becomes a treasured home and community.

 Heather V. and her family bought their Chandler home on a whim.  Her husband, a recent graduate from law school and scheduled to take the bar exam, didn’t have a job.  One weekend, “just for fun,” the couple decided to house hunt.   They walked into a new subdivision, checked out the models, and knew it was meant to be.  They put the deposit down that day.

 They’ve never looked back.  With a neighborhood like Arden Park , why would they?  Arden Park was built around 2003 and is near Germann and Alma School in Chandler .  More on the great location later, what really matters is the feel of the neighborhood.

Friendly Neighborhood

 Heather says the best thing about the neighborhood is how nice the neighbors are.  Apparently, many of the neighbors used to work together at Micro-Age.  Heather’s next-door neighbors were in that group and introduced Heather and her family to everyone else.  Since everyone knows everyone, people smile and wave and spend time catching up on each other’s lives.  Heather’s best friend is two doors down and another friend is moving in down the street.

 The neighborhood’s young moms are also very friendly, Heather says.  During cooler weather, everyday by 4 p.m., the tot lot is filled with neighborhood kids and their moms.  Few places in Phoenix offer this kind of camaraderie. 

 Great Neighborhood, Great Location

Heather also loves the location.  Besides the tot lot down the street, there is a 17-acre city park and elementary school within walking distance.  There is great access to the newly completed Loop 202.  Chandler Regional Hospital , Chandler Fashion Center , and Chandler Gilbert Community College are all within a five-minute drive.  Not to mention the 10, count them 10, golf courses within 10 miles. 

 Within such a metropolitan area, I wondered about safety.  But Heather says it’s incredibly safe:  she can walk at 10 p.m. on well-lit streets and feel completely secure.  The fact that the neighborhood is so stable probably lends itself to the security.

 Since this couple moved in, they’ve had a beautiful baby girl who is now a rambunctious toddler and Heather has started her own business, Stroller Strides.  That’s how we met.  While Heather put me through my workout paces, she happened to mention how much she loves her neighborhood.  And what a beautiful neighborhood it is.  Thanks for sharing Heather!
