I work in a big city with my office being about 10 minutes trolley ride away. It's a big enough city that once I'm out the door I never have to interact with work or anyone from work for the rest of the day or weekend. If I lived in a smaller place I think I would feel the same as you. Too close to work to feel like I'm not at work. A 15-20 minute commute would be the ideal. I'd even say 30 minutes means I can finish a chapter of an audiobook daily.
