Sister, you need to look at a few things. You need to find a place where you could also get a descent employment for youself, and where there is good and thriving Muslim population, specially if it is of reverts, with Masjid where they help reverts to learn Islam (I guess that you are a revert sister - correct?).
There are many many good communities like this in USA. I live in Michigan, but I can tell you that Dearborn is not very helpful city for reverts. Yes you can find a lot of restaurants and stores where you can get Halal meat and middle-eastern food and a lot of Arabs, mostly Muslims. But they will not pay much attention to you as there are so many Muslims all around. So I think, at the momemnt you need to consider a location which is welcoming and also has characteristics as I have described above.
In Michigan there are several other communities which are built around Mosques and which are strong and helpful... IAGD Mosque (aka Troy Masjid), MCWS Mosque (Canton Masjid), Tawheed Center etc are good communities, much better than Dearborn in this reapect. Also keep in mind that Michigan's economy is not so good these days.
There are good communities in other cities/states also, like Texas, California, New York etc, Chicago also has great Muslim population. In My opinion state is not as important as the community itself and employment opportunities. Therefore I agree with brother BrotherInIslam7.
I searched Phoenix, and found three Mosques in that city. The best Mosque appears to be ICCP: They are currently building a new masjid for nearly 4.5 million dollars. So it looks like a established community with good setup and facilities. Even their current building can houses a lot of worshipper, and they have women Halaqa for women education also. Call them to find out which will be the best time for you to visit and meet other sisters over there.
