This figure represents the total count of residential transactions closed within the neighbourhood during that calendar month. The observation period covers the full month of September 2026 without partial-month adjustments or seasonal normalization applied to the raw count. The same source reports a single specific sale at 1600 Hosanna Way in October 2026. This individual transaction is listed separately from the monthly aggregate and does not alter the September total. The data confirms active trading in the area but provides no comparative baseline against prior months or neighbouring communities. Sources: [Nanaimo Real Estate: Housing Market September 2026 | HonestDoor](https://www.honestdoor.com/cities/bc/nanaimo) ## Local Amenities Fifty-three amenity points are mapped within Chase River, including three schools, eighteen parks, one dog park, twenty-eight transit stops, one grocery store, and two recreation facilities. These counts reflect point locations attributed to the neighbourhood boundary in the OpenStreetMap dataset. The presence of these features indicates infrastructure availability but does not measure service quality, accessibility, or usage patterns among residents. Chase River Elementary School and Cinnabar Valley Elementary School are both located within the area. Review notes describe developing comparative performance for both institutions without providing numerical rankings or standardized test scores. The qualitative assessments suggest limited historical context for comparison, requiring families to consult current district resources for detailed program information and staff stability updates.
