Mapped Amenity Inventory

Springside contains 17 mapped amenity points across three categories. The inventory includes one school, four parks, and twelve transit stops. These counts reflect the current OpenStreetMap attribution for the neighbourhood boundary. The distribution indicates a higher density of transit access points relative to other facility types. This structural balance is visible in the raw point data provided for the area.

Dr. Roberta Bondar School is the single named educational facility in the set. Four park locations are identified by generic labels rather than specific proper names. The transit stops include intersections on Wentworth Drive and Strathcona Drive. These specific street references anchor the transit network within the local geography. The presence of these points establishes a baseline physical infrastructure map. It does not confirm operational status or service levels for any individual location.

City market context

From the Calgary market article, 22 September 2026:

Calgary's August 2026 real estate data reveals a market where falling supply is outpacing falling demand, pushing the sales-to-new-listings ratio above 60 percent. Despite this apparent tightness, apartment prices have corrected 13 percent from their 2024 peak, signaling a segment-specific softening that complicates the overall outlook. Calgary's August 2026 market shows a divergent signal: while total residential sales fell 16% year-over-year to 1,660 units, the sales-to-new-listings ratio pushed above 60% due to a sharper 10% drop in new listings. This suggests a short-term absorption spike rather than a broad-based demand recovery, as apartment prices remain 13% below their 2024 peak.
