I'm currently in a lower population density county altogether. My office is in the village proper and my home is on the outskirts. It's about a 20 minute walk or a ~2 minute drive. When I lived in one of the big metros, my office would usually be in a commercial district and my home would be in one of the nearby residential one. Usually a 45-60 minute walk or 20-30 minute public transit ride. I'm not a nightlife person, but I do enjoy being around a little social energy during the day, so it's nice to have a bunch of food/coffee/fitness/etc options near work with home as my sanctuary. But all those details are subjective. Like the writer who wants seclusion for work, or a carpenter who wants a big workshop, some might flip it the other way around.
