What kinds of homes are plant engineers and managers purchasing?

Technical professionals and operators frequently select newer 3 to 4-bedroom single-family homes in Ironwood Crossing ($440k–$550k) or Harvest ($500k–$640k) for short drive times. Senior management and executives frequently purchase in Barney Farms ($620k–$850k) or Legado ($750k–$1.2M) for gated security and upscale finishes.

What is the commute time from Barney Farms or Harvest to the LG campus?
