These are my 2.4GHz wifi network in my area. Do you think that there will be too much interference if I choose zigbee?

This is almost never a problem as zigbee uses other channels in the 2.4 ghz spectrum. I have lots of 2.4 ghz wifis in my neighborhood too but stillI have no problems running my own 3 zigbee networks (1x hue for the lights, 1x deconz for sensors and switches and 1x homey but just for dev tests, will drop that soon)
