How this ranking works
Estimated from several points in each area using OpenStreetMap road data. Rush-hour trips can take longer.
Entering the base requires a valid ID or an approved pass. Drive times use the gates that stay open 24/7, since Chaffee Gate is open Monday through Friday from 5 am to 9 pm and closed on weekends.
Downtown bridge times go to Stanton Street, the southbound crossing. Paso del Norte carries northbound traffic.
For assigned schools, taxes and HOA details on a specific home, I pull the current information for you.
