Should I Include Groceries, Schools & Clinics in Drive-Time Checks Too?

Yes. Extend drive-time testing to ordinary daily destinations such as supermarkets, schools, clinics, gyms and fuel stations, at the times you would normally travel (morning rush, school pickup, after-work). Use actual routes (not just the fastest path) and note how routes differ on two-way streets or detours. Record times on weekdays and weekends, and consider rainy-season conditions. Include parking access and building entry when you reach destinations. Comparing these broader trip times with the trips to Bluport, Market Village and hospitals helps you judge whether the Banyan Area location fits your real daily routine, not just what a map shows.
