Curious to know where the best easy 5.7-5.9 (TR?) routes are in the Pheonix area are with short approaches and good road access (don't have 4x4 or clearance).

Also looking for one high quality 5.7-5.9 multipitch where a long approach is fine. Have 70m rope and double rack

Queen Creek Canyon - Little England Wall
Short Approach with multiple trad in the 5.7-5.9 from single to multi-pitch.

Everything I ever did on Little England Wall could be done in one pitch. Maybe there are some routes I forgot about.

You could TR some short routes at the Cactus Flower walls at Pinnacle Peak. There is also some mp on the Peak itself. Expect very stout ratings, though.

Also, there is quality mp in the McDowells. Gardner's Wall would be a good place to go. Expect relatively stout ratings again.

The McDowells have a good variety of Trad Routes -
Garbanzo Bean on Tom's Thumb, Beat Feat (1st Pitch)
Sail Away on Sven Tower 2 ...
Fun for the whole family!
