Azle to Alliance Airport commute (Denton, Center: travel, work, housing)

[kevreg]

I have been reassigned from Wyoming to work at the Alliance Airport. My housing focus has been in the areas north of the airport due to my need for an acre or two for my horse. I have noticed some interesting properties in the Azle area. Would the commute from Azle to Alliance be reasonable during rush hour (within 45 minutes)? Or should I continue to concentrate on the areas in Wise or Denton county? Thanks for your help.

Dear Kevreg,

My wife and I live in Azle. She works in a doctor's office in South Lake. The route she drives takes her about 9 miles away from the airport. It takes her between 45 mins. to an hour + (Take incosideration wrecks, weather, construction activity) to get home and generally less time than that to get to work.
The airport is just a hop and a skip once you get on I-35 past Western Center Blvd.
Wise or Denton counties be areas of interest to you as far as having land for horses and an easier commute to the airport.
I hope this helps.

Haslet (tarrant co.) has nice areas and is very close.

Thanks for the responces. They have been helpfull. I was there last week and took the time to drive as far as to Decatur, and up to Sanger to check the area out. Rick is right on his post. It would be an hour (+) commute everyday, something I'm not willing to put up with. We'll continue to look north and northwest of Alliance. Thanks, Kevin

One thing to consider is how all the new construction and development will change the traffic patterns in the future. What might be a great commute now could easily turn into a much more heavily traveled area in a matter of just a couple of years. Not that you can really predict that....but it's something to keep in mind.

You should really consider Decatur since it is only 25-30 minutes from Alliance Airport.
