My wife and I are considering moving to the 77070 zip code in Houston. What is the commute really like?

To downtown. The Medical Center. Google Maps says 29 minutes. Is that true? Does traffic not make that quite a bit longer?My wife and I are considering moving to the 77070 zip code in Houston. What is the commute really like?
If you take the 212 Metro bus at the Seton Lake Park and Ride, it will take about thirty minutes to get downtown. To get to the Medical Center, you can get off the bus downtown and take the Metro Rail the rest of the way. That is about another 15 minutes.
29 minutes would not even be true on the weekends. That is when they shut down the freeways to work on them. You can plan on at least 1 hour at rush hour. Or should I say rush hours. From about 7AM to 9AM and from 430PM to 630PM, you can plan on sitting on the freeways.My wife and I are considering moving to the 77070 zip code in Houston. What is the commute really like?
The commute might be 29 minutes on a Sunday night, but that's about it. Between 45 and 60 is more realistic, and depends on weather conditions.My wife and I are considering moving to the 77070 zip code in Houston. What is the commute really like?
hahahahah

ya

google on Houston

it may take 29 minutes to about an hour

Houston traffic is like a train wreck

you don't want to stare but you cant look away

Houston has the most car crashes in Texas

trust me

IT WILL TAKE LONGER THEN 29 MINUTES
Huston Sucks for traffic
too funny, i lived there forever... are you moving to Champions or Prestonwood...



the commute sucks if you are working downtown, BUT!!!! the area is perfect! cant get much better, i say MOVE!



BTW- 29 min. is BS, try more like an hour.... but like i said, its worth it.



YOU DO NOT, want to live anywhere near DT.
ever seen LA traffic in movies? Thats Houston. Although being rebuilt (The freeways that is) traffic is congested due to the high inmigration thanks to the great economy. Tell me what town and I will tell you what it will takr to get to downtown. In general, during traffic hour, it is 45 to an hour
I imagine the 29 minutes is an average off-peak journey time. Before you make a decision about moving, try the commute out for yourself - like a test run. Start from 77070 around 8 AM and drive to the Medical Center - another day, you start out from the Medical Center around 5 PM and drive to 77070. Once you have done it once in each direction, imagine how you will feel doing it every day.

I can't be more precise because I'm actually in London, England
