Daily access
Map the route from each entrance to work, school and healthcare. The practical difference may come from a junction or the last-mile road rather than straight-line distance. Test both outbound and return travel.
Housing choice and total budget
One shortlist may offer a different format, size or stage of construction from another. Compare what it costs to obtain and maintain the home you need. Do not rank a bare plot, a large rowhouse and an apartment by their starting price alone.
Current infrastructure and future plans
Separate usable roads and services from proposals or works still underway. Ask what your first year of living would look like if every future assumption were delayed. This creates a more realistic comparison without requiring a prediction about which area will appreciate faster.
