Commute

Buda apartments by the drive to UT Austin.

Buda is a long way from campus and the rent reflects it, which is the trade a graduate student or a staff member has to make. Here it is measured rather than guessed.

The drive is not the deciding factor here.

4 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 4 minutes is still 4 minutes twice a day.
