Huntersville is 30 minutes from everything and I keep forgetting that before I fall for the rent prices

Every few months I see a gorgeous 2BR in Huntersville for $1,350 and think seriously about it. Then I Google the commute to Uptown: 35-45 minutes without traffic. Then I Google the commute with traffic: 55-70 minutes. Huntersville is a good place to live if your job is in the northern suburbs or you work from home full-time. If you have to be downtown regularly, the math doesn't math.
