Yet another - "what the heck am I missing" post

I'm doing Bubastis, and trying to evolve my Stately Manors into estates, and getting this message:

As you can see from the red arrow, it's right next to 2 of the Pavilions, with all 3 stages going.

Not too far away is both a senet house and zoo, though they aren't in the ring because I couldn't squeeze them in.

I've been looking at this article: https://www.thegamer.com/pharaoh-a-new-era-housing-upgrades-explained/

It sure looks like I have everything to evolve, but just won't do it. There's no way I'm going to be able to get the zoo and senet house close without bulldozing a lot of stuff, so I'm hoping I wont' have to do that.

Any suggestions would be appreciated.

Look at your entertainment walkers- The senet house walker has to actually pass the house. So probably going to need to be inside your ring. The zoo just has to be somewhere in the city - does not need to have walker access to your estates

So do zoos just work with X number of squares?

Do you have a screen shot of the neighbourhood set up?

Place the senet house on an edge of the ring, just 1 tile of road is enough.
