## Amenity Inventory in Burnside

Burnside contains 52 mapped amenity points across six categories. Parks represent the largest group with 15 locations, followed by 27 transit stops. These points include specific names like Garbally Landing and Steamcrane Quay among the park entries. The distribution suggests a focus on green space and public transportation access within the neighbourhood boundary.

Transit stops cluster along Gorge Rd E and Burnside Rd E corridors. Specific stops include Gorge Rd E at Garbally and Jutland at Cecelia. The high count of transit points indicates multiple route intersections. However, the data does not specify route frequencies, service hours, or connectivity to broader city networks beyond these mapped locations. Sources:

## Education and Childcare Presence

Two schools are mapped in Burnside: Selkirk Montessori School and SJ Burnside Education Centre. Two childcare facilities, Hopping Hearts Childcare and Dreamland, also appear in the dataset. Selkirk Montessori School has a review noting strong comparative performance despite a recent dip. This qualitative note provides limited insight into current educational standing without further district communications.

Three grocery points are listed, including BC Ale Trail and Duaa Supermarket. Three recreation sites include the Burnside / Gorge Community Centre. The presence of these services supports daily living needs. Yet, the mapping does not confirm operating hours, capacity, or the specific demographic served by each facility within the neighbourhood.

## City market context

From the Victoria market article, 11 October 2026:

September 2026 sales in Victoria fell sharply year-over-year while active listings rose. This divergence signals growing buyer choice and potential price pressure ahead. Victoria's September 2026 sales decline and rising inventory indicate a shift toward buyer leverage, despite stable Q2 prices.
