Commute times in Gilbert — how bad?

Random thought, My family moved here when I was a kid. Homes are going for about $518,600 on average. Poverty rate is 3.5%, which is pretty low. Night life is decent if you know the right spots. There's a growing tech scene which is exciting. Is this normal for Gilbert? Thanks in advance!
