Chandkheda sits at a key road junction in north Ahmedabad, where SG Highway, the Sardar Patel Ring Road, and the roads to Gandhinagar converge, making it one of the few localities in the city where three highways and an expressway meet. Chandkheda Road railway station serves the area directly, and Sabarmati Junction, on the Ahmedabad Metro's Red Line, is about 3 km away.

Narendra Modi Stadium is roughly 3 km away, and Ahmedabad's international airport is about 10 km away.

Chandkheda's education base centres on the Koba-Visat highway stretch, home to Government Engineering College Chandkheda (VGEC) and a Gujarat Technological University campus, along with schools such as Kendriya Vidyalaya ONGC, Podar International School and Sakar English School, giving local families a range of options without a long commute.

Chandkheda's growth is tied closely to Oil and Natural Gas Corporation (ONGC), which set up a regional office and staff colony here in the 1970s.

That gave the area a large base of government-sector employees and turned what was once a farming village into a settled residential suburb, a pattern that still shapes its character today.

Narendra Modi Stadium in neighbouring Motera, the world's largest cricket stadium with a capacity of over 132,000, is about 3 km from Chandkheda.

It is Ahmedabad's biggest single sporting and event venue, drawing large crowds for international cricket matches and other major events through the year.

Chandkheda functioned as an independent panchayat until 19 January 2008, when it was brought under Ahmedabad Municipal Corporation, which now runs its roads, water supply and waste management.

The locality is served by Bus Rapid Transit System corridors and city bus routes alongside its rail and metro links, on top of an established base of local markets, banks and a post office.
