How to test family life in Gazipura
School, home, work, childcare and healthcare should be tested together rather than as separate citywide averages.
Build one family route
Put school or childcare, work, healthcare and home on the same map. A family setup is only convincing when the combined daily route works.
Test the housing catchment together
Do not shortlist a home separately from admissions/catchment rules, childcare availability and the commute. Verify all of them for the same address.
Check specialist services early
Verify paediatric, emergency and any specialist care you expect to use, plus the travel required if those services are outside your chosen area.
