## Amenity Distribution in Strathcona Park

The neighbourhood contains 30 mapped amenity points across five categories. Parks account for eight of these locations, while schools represent two distinct institutions. This distribution suggests a residential focus with established educational infrastructure nearby. The presence of multiple park entries indicates varied green space options within the boundary.

Two schools, Olympic Heights School and John W. Costello Catholic School, serve the area. A single grocery store, Sobeys, provides daily retail access. Three recreation facilities round out the service offerings. These points establish a baseline of local services without indicating their current operational status or capacity. Sources:

## Transit Infrastructure Concentration

Sixteen transit stops constitute the majority of mapped amenities in Strathcona Park. Most stops align with Strathcona Drive and Strathcona Boulevard corridors. This density reflects the street network's role as a primary transit artery. The directional labels on stops indicate bidirectional service coverage along these routes.

Specific intersections include Strathcairn Place, Stranraer Place, and Strathlorne Crescent. The clustering of stops suggests frequent bus service intervals. However, the data does not confirm route numbers, schedules, or ridership levels. These points mark potential access nodes rather than guaranteed connectivity quality. 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.
