People who live in Katy how far do you drive to work one way? (Cinco Ranch: house, living)

[Waytoodeep03]

My wife and I are thinking of moving out to Katy in a year. She works in the Med Center I work in the Galleria area.

This would be an hour drive for her one way. Is this normal for people that live out in Cinco Ranch?

Takes me an avg of 31 minutes from my driveway to parking lot at work in the mornings. An avg of 27 minutes from parking lot home to driveway in the afternoon. Commuting on Westpark Tollway. I live near Falcon Point and work near the Galleria.

I live in Cinco SW, work downtown. 35miles. Takes me:

35 minutes in the morning leaving at 5:45am on i10
40-45 in the evening leaving work at 4:15pm on WPT.

Depending on where in the Galleria (and how easy it is to access WP tollway) subtract ~5 minutes in the morning and maybe 10 minutes in the evening.

I drive non-peak hours and it takes me 35-40 min via I-10 to make it to work (east of downtown) Peak hours normally adds 10-15 on the drive.

There is a bus, #298 I think, that leaves from the Kingsland park n ride and goes to the medical center. That might be an option for your wife.

I work downtown and take the bus. about 30-35 minutes....

I work in Tomball area right now, live in Cinco SW, and drive 41 miles one way. Trying to get closer to home. Takes about 50 min to an hour. Wife works in Galleria area and takes her about 35 min.

it seems most people living at katy need 30 miles to office, why they still live there? For example, working at Tomball can choose cypress,.....

working in the Galleria area, taking toll way, it takes $8 per day, $40 per week, $160 per month....all rich guys......

Same commute for me except I don't leave the house or work as early
Takes me about an hour each way for me leaving the house at 6:30am and leaving work around 4:30ish

I think time of travel is key here. Most people who take ~30min leave before 7:30 and go home before 5pm. I find it a huge difference if travelling during peak hours. Also, traffic will only get worse as more people move to west katy and fulshear. Galleria isnt bad, TMC is too long of a commute imo, but it works for a lot of people.
