## Market summary

South Keys maps 35 transit stops and four grocery stores. These amenities define the local infrastructure profile without indicating current market performance.

## Central finding

South Keys features a dense network of 35 transit stops alongside four major grocery retailers within its mapped boundaries. Sources:

## Transit Infrastructure Density

The neighbourhood maps thirty-five distinct transit stop points across various street intersections. These locations include specific corners like Bank and Johnston, as well as multiple Greenboro and Hunt Club segments. The high count indicates a significant concentration of public transit access points within the area.

This density suggests that residents have numerous options for connecting to broader transit networks. However, the mapped points do not specify route frequencies or operational schedules. Therefore, the physical presence of stops does not confirm the quality or reliability of daily commuting services for potential buyers. Sources:

## Retail and Recreational Amenities

Four grocery stores, including Bulk Barn, Loblaws, Walmart Supercentre, and Metro, are mapped within the South Keys boundary. Additionally, three parks and five recreation sites provide local leisure opportunities. These facilities include specific features such as swimming pools at Strathmore Towers and an ice rink at R. George Pushman Park.

The presence of these retail and recreational assets supports daily living needs for residents. Yet, the data does not measure distance from individual homes to these locations. Consequently, the availability of amenities does not automatically translate into convenient access for every household in the neighbourhood based on this evidence alone. Sources:

## The strongest counter-case

The mapped amenity counts do not establish service frequency, catchment areas, or actual buyer demand for the neighbourhood. 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.
