Should a JPMorgan Chase Houston employee live Downtown to minimize the commute?

Quick answer

Not necessarily. Downtown can minimize the commute to JPMorgan Chase, but Grant still prefers Lower Heights and Greater Heights for many recent graduates because they offer a stronger social environment while keeping Downtown reasonably accessible. Montrose and River Oaks can also work depending on budget and lifestyle. Grant would choose Downtown when walking to work is a major personal priority, not simply because it is the closest option.
