Hello:

I am helping a friend who will be moving from Northern AZ to the valley. She has expressed interest in living around the Chandler/Ahwatukee area. Can you all recommend some good apartments? She is looking for a studio or 1-bedroom. Safety is a concern, but money is too. Though I know she would not jeopardize her safetly for a few dollars. Her main concern is a safe kid-friendly neighboorhood. Schools are not of concern right now, as her child is too young & she plans to eventually purchase a home within a good school district. Any help/reccomendations would be appreciated!

Thanks so much!

What can I do next?

The best place you can choose is Coronado Crossing apartments. They have great rates and amenities (24 hour pool). Also, it is within 1 minute driving distance of Paragon Science Academy (charter school focusing on math and science and has high standards) which is an awesome school. I personally recommend both. Very safe, very kid friendly area, especially for someone just moving into the area. Also, home prices are excellent in this area. You'll love it... I recently move my family here!

I have lived at Lakeshore at andersen springs condo's for about 5 years and have to say I really like it. It's quiet, safe, and in a great area. It's over on Dobson and Ray in Chandler. There is a beautiful lake and Right across are restaurants and grocery stores. There is always Condo's for rent, I have heard of 1 bedrooms running for about $550. Hope this was helpful! good luck! :)

I lived in Tempe for 3 or 4 years and trained as a police dispatcher. At that time, the police department posted crime statistics on the Internet. Officers were also willing to talk with citizens about various neighborhoods. I suggest that she call the local police department and ask about neighborhoods in general and for the web site address for more information. Once she's narrowed down her choices call again and ask about specific apartments.

Tempe also had a program that worked with apartment managers to keep apartment complexes drug free. I don't remember the program's name or if it was done in other cities too. She could ask about it.

We use to live in Montage at Pecos Ranch in Chandler. It is a very family friendly safe area. We use to walk around the neighborhoods all the time at night.
