Buying a Home Atlanta Commute Time
If you're considering buying a home, you're contemplating many factors:  the style of the home, the location, and the local schools. However, have you thought about how long your commute to work will be from the new house?  Real estate experts say homebuyers should consider many factors when considering a lengthy commute and searching for Atlanta homes for sale.

  • Commuting Costs - According to the Census Bureau, the average homeowner spends around 25 minutes commuting, though those living in NYC, Boston, and Atlanta may spend longer in traffic.  If you're set on moving to a nicer neighborhood, take the time to calculate the costs of a lengthy commute. Extra gas and vehicle maintenance can take a toll on your budget, costing more than $2,000 a year.
  • Commuting Causes Stress - Long commutes can cause stress since you spend so much time on the road and not doing the things you enjoy. You don't have as much time to spend with your partner or children, which may cause marital strife.  If you don't have enough time to de-stress, you could soon gain weight or develop headaches.
  • Contemplate Your Job Flexibility - Whether you live in the city versus the suburbs may depend on your job flexibility. If you or your partner work a traditional 9-5 job, then accessibility and an easy commute are essential. However, if you have a flexible schedule or telecommute part-time, you could avoid rush hour and have a little more leeway.
  • Consider Your Lifestyle - Millennials often prefer being right in the city because they want access to everything. Many families have deemed a short commute the second most important factor after a quality school district.
