Those are pretty narrow requirements. I suspect the right answer is "telecommute".

Up to 15 minutes commute usually covers area of ~400 Square miles. That's a lot of housing to choose from. How is that narrow?

I agree that telecommute could be the right choice. But then SF vs Minneapolis comparison is getting meaningless.

Up to 15 minutes covers an area of 400 square miles if you're driving from a commuter suburb to an office building and take the freeway most of the way. If either the source or the destination involves a 'proper' city with any kind of population density, that range shrinks considerably.
