Travel distance?? (Durham, Cary, Asheville: commuting, areas, cities)

[kc2sweet4ne1]

How far is Concord, NC from Greenville, SC? Is that commute doable for a job?

[jaynarie]

I wouldn't call it doable on a daily basis. Maybe once a week. It could take 2-3 hours, depending on traffic.

Thank you. Is there another town in NC that would be drivable? I'm trying to get somewhat close to a Kroger, but still be in NC......

Maybe Monroe or Gastonia puts me in driving distance?

Look at Kings Mountain or Gastonia for sure. Monroe could be pretty far, not a good idea.

[kc2sweet4ne1]

Approximately how long of a drive is it from there? Thanks again!

I agree. Gastonia or Kings Mnt. would be good choices if you're wanting to stay in NC. Monroe would actually take longer to get to Greenville than Concord.

I don't think a commute from anywhere in NC to Greenville, outside of the south Asheville or Hendersonville areas would really be ideal. I'm currently commuting from Asheville to Spartanburg daily and it's not easy. Kings Mountain or Gastonia to Spartanburg might be doable, but Greenville is another half hour down the road from Spartanburg and traffic on I-85 between the two cities can be heavy.

Wow. That sucks for me! But thank you for the info. Are there any Kroger's in NC?
