## Mapped Infrastructure Inventory

Cardinal Heights contains 17 mapped amenity points according to OpenStreetMap Overpass API data. This inventory includes two parks, Kinsmen Park and Lockwood Park, along with 15 transit stop locations. The count represents a static snapshot of mapped infrastructure within the defined neighbourhood boundary as of the collection date.

The 15 transit stops include multiple intersections such as Crownhill / Appleford and Mowat / Steel. These points indicate where transit services are physically located but do not confirm route frequency or connectivity. The presence of these stops establishes a baseline for potential transit access without measuring actual commute behaviour or service reliability. Sources:

## City market context

From the Ottawa market article, 22 September 2026:

Ottawa's August 2026 sales-to-new-listings ratio dropped to 47.3% citywide, with apartments lagging at 43.0%. The 4.3-point gap between segments reveals where buyer leverage is forming before headline prices move. Ottawa's August 2026 sales-to-new-listings ratio fell to 47.3% citywide while apartments recorded 43.0%, a 4.3-point gap that signals weaker absorption in the condo segment even as composite benchmark prices held near flat. This divergence matters because it identifies where buyer leverage is emerging before it shows up in headline price indices.
