## Amenity Inventory in Richmond

Richmond contains 24 mapped amenity points as of October 2026. These include 13 transit stops, 4 schools, 4 parks, 1 childcare centre, and 2 recreation facilities. The dataset identifies specific locations such as Highland Park Junior High and Africville Park within the neighbourhood boundary. This inventory provides a baseline for local infrastructure presence without indicating usage rates or service quality levels.

Schools like St Stephen's School and St. Joseph's-Alexander McKay Elementary School are also mapped. However, these counts do not establish catchment areas, school quality, or household composition. The data confirms physical presence only, leaving functional accessibility and resident satisfaction unmeasured in this scope. Sources:

## City market context

From the Halifax market article, 22 September 2026:

Halifax's Months of Inventory climbed from 4.9 in January 2026 to 8 in August, marking a clear shift into buyer-favourable conditions. Sellers now face longer listing times and greater price negotiation pressure, while buyers gain leverage in a market with more options. Halifax's housing market shifted from balanced conditions in early 2026 to a strong buyer's market by August, with Months of Inventory rising from 4.9 to 8. This shift reflects slowing sales against growing inventory, giving buyers more negotiating power while sellers face longer listing times.
