I'm not far from Ft Sam and I recently looked at houses North of New Braunfels. The trip miles were 35 miles one way. You could wind your way around the back roads, but I-35 would be hard to avoid to get to Ft Sam. On a good day, no traffic.....it would take me about 35 minutes. Rush hour......no less than an hour....but probably more like 1 1/2. The best way to check it out is to do a few test runs at your normal drive time. Good luck!

1 hour to 90 mins during rush hour.

Lets of people in SA drive upwards of an hour each way to and from work. No biggie.

Gosh N-Hawk....we actually agreed on something! except for the part being a "no biggie". I left Dallas because of those "no biggie" commutes. Lifes too short to spend 3-4 hours a day in traffic......not to mention the added expense of gas these days. But I suppose that depends on a persons lifestyle to how big the "no biggie" is!
