Commute

Buda apartments by the drive to Tesla Giga Texas.

Giga Texas runs shifts, and a shift start is unforgiving about traffic. These are the measured drives from every Buda community we track, shortest first, with the rent next to each one so the trade is in a single table.

The drive is not the deciding factor here.

3 minutes separates the closest Buda community from the furthest, which over a year of commuting is not enough to override a rent difference or a floor plan you prefer. Pick on the apartment. The table is below anyway, since 3 minutes is still 3 minutes twice a day.
