There are many cities in Florida with a lot of different things to offer. Which city you live in can be influenced by many things. Maybe you grew up there and never left. Maybe you chose it for the lifestyle it offered. Or maybe your job chose it for you and you just had to pick the location with the shortest average commute time.

Whatever your reason, it’s likely that someone in your family is employed out of the home and will have to make the drive (or ride) to work at least a few days a week. A top priority for a lot of home buyers is keeping that trek as short as possible.

Though types of jobs and their locations vary widely, knowing how long the average commuter spends in transit can be an indicator of housing availability. If the average worker has a commute that is on the short end, it’s likely you can too! And if a low average commute time is what you are looking for, you may want to consider these cities. (Spoiler alert, Miami isn’t on the list. The average commute in Florida’s popular city is 29.1 minutes).
