Chandler's Ford is a suburban town in the borough of Eastleigh in Hampshire, England, sitting roughly between Southampton and Winchester. It developed from scattered hamlets around a historic ford into a largely residential area during the 19th and 20th centuries and benefits from good road and rail links to nearby cities, which makes it a popular base for commuters and families.
The town mixes suburban housing with small shopping parades, schools and community facilities, and is valued for its local green spaces and walks along the valley of the River Itchen. Economically the area centres on retail and local services while many residents work in the surrounding urban and university centres; socially it has an active community feel with clubs, societies and regular local events, and easy access to the broader Hampshire countryside and the South Downs.
