I am moving to the Phoenix area in a few weeks, but do not yet have an apartment. I will be working in South Phoenix, close to Laveen, but in the city limits of Phoenix. I was thinking about living in Scottsdale, but don't know how long it would take to drive. The map says its about 23 miles, but in traffic, don't know if that would be really long. Any thoughts? Thanks!!!

I live in pheonix and during rush hour 7:00 to 9:00 it can take about 45 min to get to scottsdale but if there is a wreck it can take about 2 to 3 hours depending on how many lanes are open and which freeway you take. It will probably take you an hour to get there. Just allow ourself enough time incase there is an accident and get familiar with side streets so you can go around the freeway if there is. oh and evening rush hour starts around 3:30, 4:00 and ends around 6:30

Depending on what time of day, 45 minutes to and hour.

It depends on your work hours and where in Scottsdale that you are going to live. If you have to take the 101 freeway South, it'll take you a little longer to get there because the 101 is always jam packed. If you're going to be renting, you should look into South Scottsdale or Tempe. The fastest route would be going from the 202 freeway, to the 143 express way South, I-10 West to the I-17, and then 7th Ave or 19th Ave south.

Why do you want to live so far away from your work. There are some nice areas closer to your job. Or, even south Tempe would be better.
