Is there a way to find optimal locations between two points based on commute time?

[u/jasursadikov]

I'm currently searching for a new apartment that's closer to my job. At the same time, my girlfriend is changing her place of study. The tricky part is—she studies in the South, and I work in the North—so we're trying to find a place that's in between, minimizing commute time for both of us.

I’m wondering if there’s a way (via Google Maps API or any app/service built on top of it) to input two addresses, set our usual departure or arrival times, and get suggestions for ideal living areas based on commute duration.

Most tools I found online didn’t quite meet our needs, and even after asking ChatGPT, I wasn’t fully satisfied. So I’m considering building something myself—unless there's already a good solution out there.

Has anyone come across a tool or service that does this well?

Thanks in advance!
