The AARP recently announced its annual rankings of the top five places to live for people over 50, and Chandler claimed one of the prized spots.The list is based on criteria, such as mass-transit systems, walkway systems, health care and a wide range of mixed-use housing.Here’s what the AARP had to say about Chandler:"Gracious desert living combined with an activist twist that encourages residents to get involved with the spirit of the town. A city climate and plenty of parks and open space to provide ample recreation opportunities."Others on the list included: Atlanta, Beacon Hill in Boston, Milwaukee and Portland.The group also named four cities to watch: Austin, Texas; Burlington, Vt.; Mankato, Minn.; and Traverse City, Mich.
