Is a 30- to 40-minute Austin commute worth it for a better lifestyle?

Quick answer

It can be. Grant Bynum would often accept a 30-minute or even 40-minute commute within reason if the renter truly loves the area and gains meaningful social or lifestyle value, especially when office attendance is limited or work hours are flexible. Five office days per week make commute burden much more important.
