## Amenity Distribution in Varsity

Varsity contains 104 mapped amenity points across six categories. The largest group is transit stops, which account for 65 of these locations. Parks follow with 24 points, while schools number six. Grocery stores total two, recreation facilities five, and dog parks two. This distribution reflects the neighbourhood's infrastructure footprint as recorded in OpenStreetMap data.

The concentration of transit stops suggests significant public transportation access within the area. However, the data does not specify routes, frequencies, or service levels. Similarly, the school count indicates educational presence but lacks catchment information. These limitations mean the counts describe location rather than utility or demand. Sources:

## 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.
