Currently I live 3/4 of a mile from the office and my commute is 2 mins. I have an agreement to sell my house and I'm looking for a new house where teh schools are better. If you commute where do you live/work, how long does it take you one way, how many miles do you drive, do you leave early/late to avoid traffic, do you use the HOV lane. Anyone care to share details of their commute.
This woman I work with said a friend of hers who lives around Bear Creek takes an hour to get to work. Not so long, no, but he's only going 12 miles.
Live in Spring (Cypresswood @ I-45 area) - I normally take the Hardy Toll Road or the HOV - door to door about 40-45 minutes or so.
Live in Pearland and drive to downtown...14 miles garage to garage and it takes me 20-30 minutes to get to work. I don't drive during the height of traffic though. I find that Mondays and Fridays, the traffic is super light.
I just started communting last week from my apartment at Beltway 8 and Briarforest to Richmond and Timmons. It takes me 25 minutes leaving at 8:00. Same on the way back leaving at 5:30.
I live in Pearland and drive all the way to the Greenspoint area near the airport....its not worth it...gotta find something closer to me.
It takes me 15-20 minutes to get 6 miles in Austin around 3pm Monday thru Thurs. 25-35 minutes to do the same on a Friday. If I were in Houston with the same commute situation (I live right off the freeway, have to Uturn, and my work is 1 stoplight off the freeway, so almost nothing but freeway travel involved) it would take me no more than 10 on any day.
Hey, thats my thread... Katy to Wilcrest 35-40 mins at 6:00am 20 something miles No HOV Lane Leave at or before 6 or the HWY 6 overpass is BIT*H Today I got the backend of a accident at eldridge that took me another 45 mins to get to work
