I walked to work over 10+ years over the course of 3 jobs (10-30 minutes, depending) - I remember when I started thinking that would be a problem, but it really wasn't. Over that time there was maybe once or twice where I got called because I was close (and it was a true emergency, so I didn't mind). I found the benefits of having co-workers over for barbeques/drinks/etc. made me very popular in the office and outweighed any other drawbacks from being close. The 10-minute walks were also nice for unwinding mental state from work. It's just a lot more calming to walk (even on a busy sidewalk) than to cram in mass transit or sit in traffic.
