15 minutes direct to work in a vehicle, not much longer on a bicycle.
I prefer the one hour to work loop on a bicycle.

If I owned this house id not move, unfortunately I rent, for now. But my commute is 7 minutes or less...depends if deer run out in front of me  I live in a small town in South Dakota and walk 1.5 blocks to work when I go into the office. Sometimes I can telework so in that case it's about 15'. the downside is I have to drive 20 minutes to go fishing in the best walleye fishery in the nation.

Work the thing retired guys like me, once pursued. When I worked seven miles one way! Facing Mt. Shasta, always a nice view on the way to work!

I had several bouts of driving 40-50 miles one way every day for years, and it sucked. I'm now 5 miles from work and the commute takes me all of 18 minutes.

25 minutes each way great time for silence and “alone/decompression time” or audible/podcasts.
I like the balance.

Currently about 5 min to shop, that will stretch to 15 at the future location. Driving the route another 75 / 100 add on 6 plus miles walking, pulling hose around properties.

I hate commuting, just puts me in a generally foul mood, and I love to drive on long trips
but last house I bought I made sure there was no interstate necessary for me to get to work. Its made a huge difference, at least for me, in my quality of life. Matter of fact, just about my whole world is within a 4 mile radius - work, school, shopping, restaurants doctor, dentist, auto store, even the DMV - if I only had a Costco next door I think I'd have it all.
Still, I'd like to get away from suburbia one day, and giving up convenience is the price I'll pay for it.
