I made the line thirty minutes. If it takes 30 or more minutes, according to Google Maps, to get there from our address it was not put on the list. We know very little about most of these parishes. We have visited four of them in the past. We have friends in two of them.
One thing that is worth considering is the ancient practice of Christians in Constantinople, that is attending a different parish on every feast day and Sunday. I don't know. Probably not.
The parishes are listed in time order, with the name of the bishop responsible for the parish.

Good list! Prayers as you make the decision
The 30 minute rule is mine as well. Any further and one cannot be a part of the parish, as you have experienced.
God be with you both.
