Apartment near TU

Vintage on Yale and Lincoln Park are a good ways from TU, especially in morning/evening traffic.

Woodland Oaks is quite a bit farther from TU than Lincoln Park is....

westport on the river: 9 minutes
woodland oaks: 16 minutes
lincoln park: 9 minutes
renaissance uptown: 8 minutes

The drive times are realistic for non-rush hour.  That's one thing about Tulsa, our idea of congestion would be a breeze in somewhere like Dallas, Houston, or LA.

Google drive times will be accurate 90% of the time.  The 10% would be rush hour (call it 7:30 - 8:30 and 4:45 - 5:45), accidents, or events.  Do the roads in areas get crowded during peak use?  Yes they do.  But most days you won't have to wait at the same red light twice.  People who complain about traffic clearly don't get to congested cities much.

One word of warning about Yale though- if you get caught at the red light leaving the vintage at 81st, chances are, you wind up in red light hell until 31st St.  There are many intermediate stop lights between the major thoroughfares along Yale.  It sucks getting caught at every single one of them.  Especially on a 100 degree day on a motorcycle.

I'm guessing you're familiar with Houston a bit from your earlier response, Conan....it is light hell in that stretch of Yale, but not like Westheimer in Houston is from 610 out to Gessner....ack!  About every two blocks was a light!  and Westheimer was the first arterial street I ever saw that was 8 lanes.

Westheimer, now there's a Houston rendition of Hell.
