Mars has oxygen, water, carbon, sunlight, and completely untouched mineral resources. Mars is the one place in the solar system besides Earth where it's possible to grow plants on natural sunlight.
Radiation on Mars is actually not that bad[1], it's comparable to the radiation levels in Ramsar, Iran, where people live happily to a normal age without elevated cancer rates. The perchlorates in Martian soil won't be hard to deal with either[2].
