## Amenity Distribution

Riverside South records 100 mapped amenity points as of October 2026. The largest category is transit stops with 53 locations, followed by recreation facilities at 19 and parks at 14. These counts reflect point locations attributed to the neighbourhood boundary in the source dataset. They do not measure service frequency, route coverage, or facility capacity within the area.

The remaining amenities include 7 schools, 4 childcare centres, 2 grocery stores, and 1 dog park. Specific named locations include Steve MacLean Public School and Spratt Park Ice Rink. The concentration of transit stops suggests multiple street intersections serve as access points. However, the data does not confirm which routes operate at these stops or their operational hours.

## School and Childcare Presence

Seven school points are mapped within Riverside South, including both public and Catholic institutions. Named examples include Bernard-Grandmaître Catholic Elementary School and St. Francis Xavier High School. Four childcare centres are also listed, such as Canyon Walk Child Care Centre. These entries indicate the physical presence of educational facilities but do not define attendance zones or enrollment capacity.

The co-location of schools and childcare points suggests a residential focus on family-oriented services. Yet the evidence does not establish proximity between these facilities or their relative positions within the neighbourhood. Without catchment data or quality metrics, the counts alone cannot support conclusions about household composition or buyer preferences in Riverside South. 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.
