…Correct me if I'm wrong, but I think my options to solve this issue are:
1. Go to 5GHz where I can - so make sure to get a dual-band router so older devices can still do G (our phones are AC).
2. Get a router that's powerful with big antennas so I can overpower the other networks in the area

Sounds like a good plan. Take a look at the new Airport Extreme.

I already have one of those foil things setup to direct the signal.

That's not necessary (and probably not a good idea) if you get a beam-forming capable 802.11ac router.
