Falcon Field Municipal Airport. .Chandler Municipal Apt. .Goodyear Airport. .Glendale Airport. .Casa Grande Airport. .Williams Gatewat Airport
GOOD LUCK, wx and scenery there are AMAZING!

Skyharbor is easily in the top ten busiest airports in the world, probably around 50% busier than LHR on a movement basis. It was the busiest two runway airport in the world until they put in 7R/25L recently. There is a flight school there, but you will spend a lot of time and money on taxiways if you train there. I've been in and out in a warrior for the hell of it, no big deal, just call them up a good 15 minutes beforehand. PHX App very friendly and will always try to fit practice approaches in even when they are busy.
Multiple class D airports under class B wedding cake.

Yes, weather splendid. Yesterday hit the low 80s, much the same for the rest of the week. BBQs all through the weekend though the pools are still a bit chilly.

SKAZ,
Try Swift Aviation (or Swift Air) - it is a growing FBO with flight training based at Sky Harbor. Another good flight school in Phoenix is Sawyer Aviation based at Scottsdale Airport.
The flying conditions are fantastic in Arizona - but expect 3-4 hot summer months - but the rest of the year the weather is WONDERFUL!!!! Hey, with 320+ days of sunshine and calm winds per year, you can't ask for much more... Trust me, you'll love it there!
. .Cheers
