I've seen that everyone mentions how living in base will provide you the best quality of life, but what I haven't seen mentioned is exactly how far out you can live to where you would still be "living in base" and reaping the benefits of the enhanced quality of life.

For instance, would living an hour drive from your domicile be too far? Just trying to know what's a good limit on how far out to look for places to live.

And as a second, related question. Does anyone on here drive for their commute? If so, how far do you drive, and is that better than flying?

Appreciate any advice and thoughts!
