Potential Move to PHX
I am seriously considering moving to Arizona to relocate to an office in West Chandler but unsure as to where or what my day-to-day… I’m looking for advise and/or ideas for places to live.
I am single, 29 year old male coming from Northern VA for the last 4.5 years who does not know many people in the Phoenix area. I’m originally from Minnesota and went to school at Florida State. Any ideas for social, balanced places to live and things to do for those living there locally now would be greatly appreciated. The office is located in West Chandler, but a there are talks of it being moved to the Tempe Town Lake area (ideally by April 2027).
Some highlights include that I love being around people, having a busy schedule yet time for some me time, open to a lot of activities or events, travel geek, volunteering with the community and coaching, and big into sports.
My initial thought was to aim around Tempe Town Lake as that is about 13 miles from the current office, but ideally I would like to keep my commute to around 30 min or less… thoughts on surrounding areas of Old Town Scottsdale or some neighborhoods in downtown? I am also ears to downtown Gilbert or Chandler, but that would be alternate areas.
Nonetheless, any and all 2-cents is greatly appreciated, thank you in advance!
