The Arizona Republic
Chandler's high tech industry, booming Fashion Center and, of course, the Ostrich Festival helped land the city on Money magazine's top 100 "Best Places to Live" list.
Chandler came in at No. 30, two spots behind neighboring Gilbert, and 17 spots ahead of Scottsdale. Peoria, the only other Arizona city on the list, came in at 55.
In its formula to determine the nation's top cities, the magazine considered education, crime, weather, housing, job growth and quality of life factors such as nearby entertainment and shopping.
The magazine's only complaint in its write-up on Chandler: weak public transportation, citing incomplete local bus routes.
