My husband and I will be relocating to Philadelphia shortly for our jobs. He will be working in Bala Cynwyd off City Ave and I will be working in Center City. We are interested in living in a couple of places:
1. Near Chestnut and 2nd in Old City
2. Near Chestnut and 15th in Center City

I will be able to walk or take the train for either of the locations. However my husband will be driving to work. Does anyone know what we can expect for his commute time during morning and evening rush hour?

Any information is greatly appreciated!!

No one has answered you yet, and there are likely folks who do this exact commute. I'm going to say it's probably about a half hour, maybe slightly more with parking, etc. That is probably about as good a commute as you'll get in the Philly area. (I suggest putting the addresses where you're living and the address of your husband's workplace into Waze at the times when he'll be leaving in the morning for a few days. That will give you exact, accurate info.)

(Waze is a traffic app available on your phone, in case you're not familiar with it.)

The drive shouldn't be too bad. Although 76 is slow during rush hours, you do not need to be on it for very long between Center City and Bala Cynwyd. Other alternatives exist too, such as MLK/West River Drive. If your husband works close to the Bala SEPTA station, Regional Rail from Suburban Station is another option... although the Cynwyd line only runs at limited hours.

Use google map direction and set the time of travel.
