Would you move close to a park for more peace and green space, but that means you will have to sacrifice for a longer daily commute to work (45-50 min) and a close gym?

How often are you going to use the park?
I run in the park 4-5 times a week, so would definitely do this.
But if you just like the idea of the park being close, then I’d say no.

That means ~2 hours a day in transit, reducing your free time. I assume you commute to work more often than you can use the park. I would prefer longer commute to the park when I’m free.

But if it only add 10 min to commute that’s fine.

Price difference?

like

It should be around the same price if I move with a roommate again or 1.5k more if I decide to move by myself

How long is the commute right now

Oh wow. 20 min walk? Not gonna lie that sounds better than being next to a park. You probably have other cool city stuff near you too

No. I don’t live here because I crave green space. Lol.

Walking to and from work was my exercise. I would walk from the West 70s through Central Park to the Grand Central area (unless it was raining or snowing). For another job, I walked down Broadway to the Empire State Building for three years. I have never joined a gym.

No.
