Let’s explain how we made this project.
Firstly, we invented a model of family to choose wich neighborhood would be the
best for them. Our family is formed by a couple and two kids of 4 and 6 years
old, and they’re around 1500 euros each month.
Secondly, we had to choose three different neighborhoods
of Madrid to find out which one is the best for our family. We choose Goya,
from Salamanca district, this neighborhood is situated in the centre of Madrid
and it belongs to a commercial zone. Then, Francos Rodriguez, it belongs to
Moncloa-Aravaca district.
And the last neighborhood we choose was
Alameda, whose district is Barajas, and is in the Norwest of Madrid.
We have made a model of neighborhood to find
the best to this type of family
As factors and indicators, we choose these:
*Education: for us is the most important factor
to choose a neighborhood, we have given 35% of importance with a maximum of 15
centers including schools, libraries, academies… . We have taken into account
the number of schools and academies of each area.
*Transport: related with mobility, is the
second one more important. If a neighborhood has good communication, the family
won’t have problems to move on public transport. We consider that it has a 20%
of importance The maximum is 15 lines between metro and bus.
Because of we consider the transport a very
important factor (apart from education), the rest of them will have less importance.
*Entertainment (parks, cinemas, restaurants…)
has an importance of 12% with a maximum of 3 centers.
*Feeding (taking into account markets and
supermarkets in each area) 15% with a maximum of 15 centers.
*Healthcare (hospitals and pharmacies) 10% with
a maximum of 2 centers.
*Cost of living (price of rent a flat) 8% with
a maximum of 700 € each month
We have count the number of centers of each
factor in the three neighborhoods, so we could compare them we our ideal
neighborhood to choose the best one. Those are the results:

To sum up,
We have seen that there are a lot of
differences between these neighborhoods.
As a conclusion we think that the best
neighborhood for this family is Alameda de Osuna.
It’s a little bit far from the city center but
it has a very good communication. This family will can go to ever they want by
car, underground or bus.
The cost of the rent of Alameda de Osuna is
cheaper than in the other neighborhoods, so it’s a very important thing.
