## Daily Infrastructure Density

Westboro maps twenty-two transit stops across its boundary, creating a dense network of potential boarding points for residents. This concentration suggests multiple entry points into the regional transit system without requiring long walks to a single hub. The variety of stop names indicates coverage along several arterial corridors within the neighbourhood.

Five childcare centres operate within Westboro, providing early education options close to residential areas. These facilities include Montessori programs and co-operative preschools, offering diverse pedagogical approaches for young families. The proximity of these services to residential zones reduces daily transportation burdens for parents with young children. Sources:

## Recreation and Educational Presence

Ten recreation facilities are mapped in Westboro, ranging from an ice rink to gymnastics centres and wading pools. This mix supports year-round physical activity options for different age groups and interests. The presence of both indoor and outdoor facilities allows residents to engage in recreation regardless of seasonal weather conditions.

Four schools serve the neighbourhood, including alternative and academy-style institutions that provide varied educational pathways. Parks such as Westboro Kiwanis Park and Lion's Park offer green spaces for informal community gathering and leisure. Together, these educational and recreational assets form a foundational layer of neighbourhood livability for established residents. 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.
