[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I think the metro station in question matters as well. Tacking a 20 minute walk onto a 30-40 minute ride to a suburban station is different than a 20 minute walk to/from a more centralized station.[/quote]

Sure but the question is how far to metro. Not whether the overall commute is ok, only the house to metro part. [/quote]

But keeping in mind that for many people the 20 minute walk is not the whole commute, just one of at least three parts (walk to metro + ride/transfers + walk to work), the longer that walk is, the less desirable the house location. There will be people who will say "too far" and it's not because they are too out of shape to walk, it's because their commute is long enough already. [/quote]

And those people aren’t going to buy in op’s area or if they do they’ve already ruled out metro. Someone who intends to commute by metro builds that into their area search. [/quote]

Maybe, but I'm a house hunting metro commuter and I calculate commutes house by house, it varies within a neighborhood and bus routes and bikeshares help too. So if Google maps gives a longer estimate because it doesn't list an available bike path, that should definitely go in the listing. [/quote]
