ADVICE: Moving from OC, CA to FW (job near Hulen Mall)

As long as salary negiotiations go well, I will be moving shortly to FW with a job near the Hulen Mall. I am a 30F and have relatives in Keller, but don't think it's a great work/life balance to live there and commute daily.

I was considering either living near work or somewhere in the middle like the Lake Worth area or possibly even downtown FW.

Here are my questions:

- What is the realistic commute if I live in the Lake Worth area or Downtown FW to the Hulen Mall area?

- What are some recommendations for apartments in these areas? My ideal budget is to stay under $1500 for a 2 bed/ 2 bath.

-Any other tips about moving or getting settled in FW?

Thanks!!!!!
