[afghaniprinzess]

can anyone tell me the distance between queen creek, surprise and buckeye to say..downtown phoenix? which one is the farthest..which is closest? on the map they all look like they are the same amount of distance...we were thinking bout buying a home in either of these cities...we wont necessary commute to downtown phoenix...but just want to know which will be the closest to it?

Buckeye is closest. My hubby had a 90 minute drive when we lived in QC, but we lived way out there. His commute from Surprise is anywhere from 45 minutes to over an hour depending on traffic. Buckeye is closer to the I-10, but it gets backed up so bad in traffic that I don't know if you get there faster using surface streets from Surprise!

Then what difference is it if you aren't commuting and the map can answer your question? Choose either one of these places because they are pretty much the same until it comes to your personal preference.

Surprise is about around 30 miles. Taking grand or Bell to 101 to I-10

But you can stay on pretty much Grand all the way. Traffic moves pretty fast on grand..around 55-60. But there are stop lights.

Buckeye is about 35 miles but it is a straight shot.

Queen Creek is about 37 miles...but even harder to get out of then Surprise.
