Local history
Chandler was founded in 1912 by Dr. Alexander John Chandler, the first veterinary surgeon of the Arizona Territory, on his ranch land south of Mesa. A year later he opened the San Marcos Hotel, which drew winter visitors and had one of the first grass golf courses in Arizona. The town incorporated in 1920.
For most of the century Chandler was a farm town of cotton and alfalfa. That changed in the 1980s and 90s, when Intel and other tech employers arrived along the Price Road corridor and the population grew from about 30,000 in 1980 to more than 270,000 today.
Housing market
Most Chandler homes were built during that boom, from the mid-1980s through the 2000s, in neighborhoods like Ocotillo, Fulton Ranch, Sun Groves and Cooper Commons. Downtown Chandler still has older bungalows and mid-century homes near Dr. A.J. Chandler Park, and southern Chandler borders the Sun Lakes retirement communities.
Many of these homes are now 20 to 40 years old. That means original water heaters, air conditioners and roof underlayment are reaching the end of their life, and a good inspection tells you which ones and roughly when.
What I look for
From the inspection blog:
On video
Most Chandler homes were built between the mid-1980s and the 2000s, so a lot of them are hitting the age where roofs, AC units and water heaters need attention. Watch me go through one top to bottom. Watch on YouTube.
