Maricopa is in buttfuck egypt between Tuscon and Phoenix, it's about an hour and a half or two hours south of Chandler. But within the next 10-15 years Phoenix will have stretched down that far.
Basic rules of thumb are to avoid South Phoenix (Mexican and Black area), ASU area (Tempe/Chandler) is constantly packed with people and traffic, especially Mill Ave, and it is one of the hottest places on the planet. Summers last about 6 months in Phoenix as well, usually average over 110 degrees, gets to 120+ at the height.
