My suggestion: look at the overall Phoenix area on googlemaps. Unless you enjoy being tortured, don't pick an area that is too far from any *real* freeway -- this excludes the 303. So with Surprise, unless you have a job lined up that is relatively close to that area, I would suggest looking elsewhere.... I mentally kill at least 100 people every time I have to drive there.

Because of how much traffic sucks here, it's been about 10 years since I've lived more than 7 minutes from a freeway. My current home (and my prior 2 apartments) were within 2-5 minutes of a freeway. As a reference.. it would take about 30-45 minutes on surface streets to get from Surprise to the 101 freeway.
