As well as being the closest source of major supermarkets and retailers, Carindale Shopping Centre and Capalaba Central also offer, cinema complexes for residents looking for more modern entertainment.
Although there are no schools in Chandler, families are well catered for with schools in neighbouring Gumdale, Capalaba and Carindale. Based on large home site dwellings, REIQ research shows that Chandler has seen strong growth in prices over the last five years.
