Aside from proximity, Mars is better suited to colonization than the moon.
There's a minor atmosphere that makes traditional flight possible, and evens out the temperature swings a bit.
The day/night cycle is nearly identical to Earth so solar arrays are more practical (compared to lunar days lasting 28 Earth days).
The gravity is higher (38% of Earth's gravity compared to 17%), so muscle atrophy and general disorientation should be less severe compared to the lunar surface. On the other hand this does make it harder to get back off the surface and into orbit again.
While both likely have "enough" water, Mars has more.
The only thing the moon offers that's better is for resupply or emergency scenarios, Earth is just a hop and a skip away.
