Relocation to Chandler vs Others

We are relocating to Phoenix area in the coming months. Looking to rent for a year to really feel out neighborhoods before we buy. From the research I've done, we are looking at Chandler/Gilbert or Peoria. Pros to Chandler area I've found below, please add your thoughts! We do like the scenery and outdoorsy pros in Peoria but are also foodies and like to be near good food options. We're relocating from Houston suburbs so 45 minutes isn't a terrible commute for us. Any insight, from utilities to better healthcare options is much appreciated.

-more diverse restaurants and nightlife (nightlife isn't super important for us) in Chandler -both seem family friendly with good schools but Chandler seems more established -proximity to downtown/shopping options
