Decision one: the district question — but honestly framed
On a five-district corridor, this is genuinely decision one — but the honest version isn't "which district is best," it's which specific campuses would serve each candidate address, verified, plus your family's actual criteria: programs, size, commute to campus, before/after care logistics. The method gets you verified answers; the transfers guide explains why you buy the zoned answer, not a hoped-for exception.
Decision two: the daily geometry
Badge commute, school runs, activities, the other parent's badge — drawn on one map, at real hours. The corridor's classic family error is optimizing one commute and discovering the school run crosses it. The two-badge household section covers the geometric compromise pockets.
Decision three: rent-first or buy-now
With kids the calculus sharpens both ways: a rent-first year buys verified local knowledge but can mean a mid-stream school move; buying immediately locks the campus but on less knowledge. The corridor-honest middle path: rent inside the district zone you've verified and expect to buy in — continuity preserved, knowledge gained. House rentals and BTR make that genuinely doable here.
