Obviously, location isn't the only factor that matters when choosing a job (otherwise you might as well work at the corner McDonalds) but if you know that your next job will have a great commute and/or be located in a convenient place for your non-work life, it has some positives going in. Also, if an area has a huge number of interesting companies in it, chances may be good that it contains an interesting company that would be a good fit for you, one that you might not have otherwise been aware of.
