Default Airplane rental / flying clubs near Phoenix

I may be relocating to Phoenix in the not so distant future so I'm looking
for airplane rental or flying club recommendations. I'm currently flying
Warriors, Archers and 172s but having a high performance or complex airplane
available would be a plus. Info on rental charges, airplane availability,
quality of the airplanes, airspace considerations and user friendliness of
the airport/FBO/club would all be appreciated.

If you happen to have non-aviation local knowledge of any areas or
neighborhoods of the city that are considered less favorable areas to reside
due to crime or other community issues please pass that along as well.

I have the benefit of working from a home office so I won't need to commute
on a daily basis and can look for housing, probably an apartment, near my
favorite airport.

TIA,

As a member, perhaps I am partial but I honestly believe we have the
best way to fly in the valley unless you want to own your own
aircraft, or go with a high-dollar fractional. We are truly non-
profit. All members buy-in with an equity share, currently $4500,
fully refundable when you leave. All fixed expenses are split via the
$100/month fixed fee. We have 4 aircraft - two Archers, a 182, and a
Comanche 260. Aircraft are rotated between CHD and DVT, with two kept
at each airport. All aircraft are equipped with a Garmin 430 or 530.
We just spent about $200k on the 182, which is a 1998 model. Wet,
tach, hourly costs are $72 for the Archers, $97 for the 182, and $113
for the Comanche.

See the website for more info.
