    "it's Grown on me, I didn't like the idea of living out here, but it's what I could afford at the time, HWY 347 can be a pain, wish they would use our tax dollars to add more routes to get to the I-10 freeway"

    "There is no public transportation at this time therefore you must have a vehicle, bike or rides are such as uber/lyft. Most people in Maricopa commute into town (Chandler, Phoenix, Tempe, Etc.) for work."

    "my neighborhood has great access to all main roads as well as public transportation. But if you work in any other town especially scottsdale plan on leaving work no later then 2:30pm and driving to work in the morning plan on leaving no later then 5:00 am or you will be waiting in traffic for atleast an extra 1hr without any accidants or hold-ups. S.R 347 is awful and desperatley needs to be widened theirs no choice to it or move."

    "On a good day you are 20 mins to the I-10 at Chandler. Lots at Chandler with the 202 being right there, the Arizona Mills Mall, Harkins Theater, and even IKEA. 347 is a bit crazy but that just means you need to pay attention to the road and stay off your phone. I didn't commute daily so it was perfect for me. "

    "For everyday living, North Maricopa is surprisingly good. Everything you need is here, plus additional is being built. For entertainment and nightlift, there are two casinos, one 5 minutes south the other about 20 minutes north, and the quality of entertainers is good to excellent, but that's about it. Broadway-quality shows at Gammage Theater are about a half-hour north, along with most everything else."
