      "The commute is easy Metro transit near by. And yes 10 minutes away from downtown but traffic is really bad to travel freeway is less than five seconds away. Tuesday Thursday are any given day. The Train has roads blocked until it passes. So it will take30 minute are longer to travel downtown."
