I live in anthem... its pretty boring but its a good place for family... traffic is not bad at all. the 17 just got finished and im never stuck in traffic on it, 101 is a diff story. your still a ways from the city, about 30 minutes doing the speed limit. Pleasant is a good lake if you go early you'll be fine it just gets stupid around 11-3, thats when all the bro's with more speakers on their towers than wakeboards head out, but they normally go straight to humbug cove with the rest of the bro's. best way to tackle AZ lakes is go early when the water is nice, anchor around lunch time for 2 hours (relax, eat, family time, swim to the shore and explore. etc.) then set off to finish ur sets off around 2 or 3 and go till its dark. ive only been to pleasant and bartlett and both are nice, but pleasant is much closer to the anthem area. hope that helped
