@shabang: I think it also maybe depends on the house differences. Are we talking a 2 bedroom condo versus a large house on an acre? What lifestyle do you want?

Yeah it really all depends on what exactly you are getting with the shorter commute. Like I would need to live in a family friendly neighborhood with a yard in a great school district so as long as you're getting all that might as well go for shorter commute!
We moved farther out but it wasn't exactly planned since I got my job in the city after we bought our house. I dream of moving closer one day but we live in an awesome affordable area with great schools and my husband has a short commute.. so I'm outnumbered lol!

I've been there. I had a 1.5 hour commute from MD to DC and it was bad. I wasn't even married at the time and it was draining. Honestly, we moved out of the area so we wouldn't have those awful commutes anymore.
At this stage in life I'd take a smaller house with a smaller yard with a shorter commute.

I'm a big fan of not commuting.
We have a small house with a small yard in a fabulous location very close to downtown.
I avoid buckling three kids into the car like the plague so I cannot imagine living in the burbs.
