Commute times in Kendall West -how bad?

Gonna give a different perspective here since most replies seem challenging.

I've been here 6 years and I wouldn't want to live anywhere else right now. The thing nobody mentions is pet-friendliness. It's competitive and it affects daily life more than you'd think.

That said, the job market is legit. And if you're into hiking, this place is excellent.

Neighborhood matters A LOT here. The Highland side vs the Greenfield side are basically different cities. Make sure you visit both before deciding.

Your mileage may vary depending on what you're looking for..

I'm a nurse and I've found I'm still on the fence after all this time. The community is solid and there's always something going on.

My experience has been mostly positive. it's been a really good experience overall. The only thing I'd watch out for is school system. Other than that, Give it a chance - it might surprise you..
