A great suggestion someone gave me when I was looking years ago was to try the morning commute and see if you are okay with it. It might be easier to do the "evening" commute unless you feel like waking up early.

There's a difference between 93 and rt 2 when it comes to commuting into the city. But see if that will make you want to do the move.

That’s a really good idea. We’re going to try to live in 2 different cities for a few days each and simulate driving to work, going grocery shopping at peak hours, checking out schools, etc. So we’ll definitely add this to the list, that’s an awesome ifea

These days OP can use Waze (or Google Maps) and the "go later" feature to get estimates that tend to be pretty accurate. But you're right: nothing prepares you for it quite like doing it.
